Mcafee Virus

I have NOrton Antivirus installed. I thought I would like to add Mcafee Virus as it was a free download. I can't install Mcafee without deinstalling Norton and I don't want to do this. I am unable to get rid of install of Mcafee. I've taken Mcafee folder out of program files and setup file out of WINNT. Install process always begins again on reboot. I'm obviously missing removing some file. Please help. Thanks

Dale, did you use Add/Remove Programs,in your control panel. Also go to your registry. To do this go to Start-Run, type in "regedit". Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER click on the + and go down to "Software" click on the +. See if there is a registry key for McAfee, if so then right click on it and delete it. Then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and do the same procedure. Also download a program called CrapCleaner can be found at www.ccleaner.com
