The same answers you were given to your multiple posts in
24hoursupport.helpdesk will still apply.
 
Afraid not, because none of them worked. If you would like to answer the
post and if you think you have the answer I will be more than glad to follow
your instructions word for word.'

Well, which do you want to do? What are you trying to accomplish? What
OS are you using? What version of McAfee? What have you tried so far? So
many questions, so little information.
 
Running XP Home Edition SP2
I tried to uninstall McAfee with Revo. It did not take out all of the
files.

I downloaded the MCPR Uninstaller tool from mcafee.com.

Ran it per instructions

When I rebooted the following message came up:

Updater run-time error ‘-2147024770(800700e)’:

Automation error

The specified module could not be found. OK

Would it help to restore to the day before I tried the uninstall?

You might need to try and /reinstall/ the un-named McAfee product and
then try to use MCPR again.

Why is your XP Home just at SP2?

Or get Your Uninstaller, which does a pretty good job of cleaning out
traces of uninstalled programs. You will probably have to reboot and use
YU twice, since it can't always unlock and delete files that Windows
thinks are still needed.

Revo Uninstaller does the same thing, and is excellent freeware:

You doing a Restore "May" work, but I don't think it will. I had a similar
case with Avast. It would not completely uninstall, and would not let me
load over itself. In other words, my PC locked up on Avast.......couldn't
go forward or backward. Solution? Reformat.

Hello Richard:

In that particular case, I might have tried working closely with Avast
support to resolve the issue.

It probably would be a registry entry that would keep you from going
back or going forward.

Hello Larry:

Agreed! I'd try almost any other viable utility before I tried the best
registry cleaners. One would be fearful that the hive would be
incomplete or damaged after an indiscriminant operation.
