First create a restore point Have you already uninstalled the software? You can use a third party software removal tool such as iobit uninstaller: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/iobitu... Select powerful scan when the option presents itself then select and delete everything associated to mcafee. If you have already uninstalled the software you can run their (mcafee) removal tool which should look for obsolete registry entries and orphaned files: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/dow... In any case run the mcafee removal tool after you have uninstalled the product. You can manually search for the orphaned files and registry entries to delete but using dedicated software is a much safer way to go.

Here's a direct link to Mcafee's download for their removal tool: http://download.mcafee.com/molbin/i... They recommend using the newest version as older ones may not correctly remove their new products. I'm not sure which version bleepingcomputer has. And as btk1w1 says, they recommend running it after a normal uninstall through windows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/...

Bleepingcomputer are very good at security related issues but as always getting software directly from the manufacturer is always better. Err on the side of caution and use the link provided by DAVE as you can be certain this will be the latest iteration of their removal tool.
