Kristi,
Go to this site and copy the instructions or print them out. McAfee is a pain to
get rid of, and even their instructions aren't enough. You will need to do some more
registry editing also. Just take your time and be careful.
McAfee uninstall
How to use Regedit:
Start - Run - type: Regedit Then OK. On the toolbar - click Registry - Export
registry file - in the Window that opens, where it says 'Export Range', make sure
"All" is ticked. In the named box, type: backup Choose save.
This will export the registry file to your desktop. In the event there would be a
problem, you can 'merge' it back into the registry. You can delete it, once you know
there's no problem. Save it for a few reboots, at least.
Then choose Edit on the toolbar - Find - In Find what, type: {name of file} It'll
start the search, and when it stops, a key or value will be highlighted. Right click
and choose delete (or hit the delete key). Continue the search by pressing F3.
Proceed the same way, until you get a message that the search is finished. Then follow
the same instructions to search for the next word or name, etc. Close and Reboot
for changes to have effect.
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require
you to reinstall your operating system.
