McAfee is itself a virus... haha

Kaspersky for the win.

- Fireskull - 21.04.2010

Yeah, you're right! I have Kaspersky and it is worth the price. It saved me a reformat of my system on many occasions. Big Grin

Hello, Cnopicilin

Install another full feature anti-malware program before you remove McAfee. The new one likely will catch any suspicious activity.

There are reputable programs for forcing an uninstall of a program, but you must get one from a major, known company in order to be safe and secure. Usually the Force Uninstall programs are free.

I have norton 360 V2, and I used the McAfee uninstaller. It says it needs to reboot to finish the removal, then I press yes, comp restarts and nothing had happened.

You need a third party Uninstaller. :wink:
