    try add/remove programs instead of uninstalling it

    should be in control panel

    i did try add/remove programs and also the uninstaller in mcafee but no good, it seems to be part of the uninstaller that is missing

    well.......open task manager(ctrl+alt_del) and and on processes

    find and end everything ending up with "MC"yes i know this is a crazy and risky idea lol but it works because i fell in the same trouble and i could not uninstall it

    after ending it all.... try and uninstall it

    hope it will help you

    btw thats the only bug in McAfee i have come across apart from it McAfee is the best.....
