I just installed mcafee antivirus without uninstalling norton antivirus. This has created major problems. My computer won't reboot. I can't get into other areas of my computer. I tried to unistall mcafee then norton, but I am not able to. Does anyone know how I can uninsall either one? I have tried the remove hardware path, but I don't get anywhere? Is there a back way to try?

Have you tried booting into SAFE mode?????

Assume you've tried Add/Remove programs in control panel. It's software you want to remove, not hardware.

I have tried safe mode. I am still unable to unistall either antivirus program. Is there any other path to take or commands that I could try?

If you can boot to safe mode ok...try going into msconfig (start> run> type in "msconfig" without quotes) > hit the startup tab and uncheck anything to do with NAV and Mcafee> reboot to normal mode> then try uninstall the program of your choice... might be better off to uninstall both programs and reinstall the one you want. You could also try system restore to b4 installing mcafee. Good luck

Is it really a problem when you have both together? Well, Windows takes for ever to start since I installed Norton with Macafee ALREADY on my computer...It takes 5 minutes to start windows...When I click on my user name it just says "Loading your personal settings." and takes like 5 mins to start everything up. Please help.

From what I have read and understand it shouldn't be a real problem having 2 antivirus programs on your computer BUT only one can be running at once. Having both running will cause problems, conflicts, freezeups, and likely false positives or even worse false negatives. If you want to keep both; make sure one of them is not starting up with windows. If you decide for example to keep norton in startup...uncheck anything to do with mcafee av in msconfig and reboot. mcafee wont startup with windows but as all the other programs it is available thru start> programs. If you decide to run mcafee to run scan...disable NAV autoprotect first. There was a post quite a while back someone had 2 av programs running but that was over a month ago and I can't remember which ones they were..I think norton/avg or norton/kapersky...someone here might remember. As far as windows taking a long time to start up...it will if both norton and mcafee are in the startup. You will also find some of your other programs run slower to such as email...both mcafee and norton are trying to scan the email, Internet explorer...again both av programs trying to scan the temporary internet files so your browsing, downloading will be slower. With the newer versions of norton/mcafee also msn mesanger and other IM programs if you use them will slow down too during any file transfer; both norton /mcafee are scanning the file. Ok I think I beat that to death enough... Also forgot to mention you will need to be logged on as administrator or user with full admin privliges to make the necessary changes. Good luck
