How to remove the last bits of McAfee SS

[Devonbloke]

Hi,
My first post so hope someone can help.

I have been running McAfee Sec Suite for 12 months on XP SP2 - and it has been just OK, but has slowed down my system. I have decided to remove it replace with another, but had a problem unistalling.
My system crashed and I have been left with a directory called <McAfee> within <Program Files> with 2 files mcodsax.dll and scriptcl.dll which i cannot delete as they appear to be in use.

Also Windows Security Centre now alerts to advise that McAfee Viruscan is turned off.

I have checked config and cannot find any mc*.* file names that load at startup.

I also have Uninstaller 2006 which shows an icon for McAfee Uninstaller, which i can right click to select 'Clear' - but when i reload UI 2006, it is back again.

Any help on how to disable what is left of McAfee to delete it would be appreciated.

You could try using the McAfee removal tool which should clean up any problems after you've done a normal uninstall:
