Sorry, one more question: When I rebooted my computer after uninstalling McAfee VirusScan Enterprise, I got a popup that said:
User Account Control
Program name: mcupdate.exe
Program location: "C:\Program Files
(x86)\McAfee.com\Agent\mcupdate.exe"

It allows me to click "yes" or "no" so I clicked no. I got this all the time when I was running McAfee VirusScan and clicked yes. Now I uninstalled it but apparently, something still remains that I should get rid of? I tried rebooting twice already and it's still there.

Maybe I need a "Clean Tool" to remove it? :huh: Perhaps you can recommend one for me...

Thanks! :)

Hi,

Seems like the McAfee uninstaller didn't delete everything, which is typical unfortunately. Please try this:

If that doesn't work, give Revo Uninstaller a try: http://download.cnet.com/Revo-Uninstaller/3000-2096_4-10687648.html
