When you delete programs often there are signatures left behined and especially anti virus programs like Nortons and Mccafee don't like to be deleted.

If you like download Ccleaner and run the analyze and cleaning process then use the tools and see if any mccafee products show on that list if they do use ccleaner to get rid of it.

 

I have tried that GBL but no luck, im doing the search again and ive rebooted many times but im not picking mcaffee up even though that is the reason why my anti bvirus wont install

Hi zxspectrum,
Have you tried the solution at the following linky?

HTH
NB

 

Cool link N_B.. i knew Nortons had their own software removal apps but i didn't know that McAfooey did

 

I had similar issues in the past with McAfee where after I uninstalled the product I still got errors telling me that McAfee encountered errors and needs to be reinstalled. When I tried to uninstall it from the add/remove programs it wasn't in the list nor was it in the programs menu. So what I ended up doing was reinstalling McAfee and uninstalling it. That fixed the issue I was having.

 

Cheers guys, ill look at the link later but i managed to get some free stuff from trend micro which will do for the time being, ill be round there later as ive been offered a roast dinner.
