Upon trying to run Vscan, I found it to have become corrupt or affected by the virus. I uninstalled the software, deleted any related files on the drive and then attempted to reinstall it. It blew up with an error message that install had been interrupted and try again. Someone told me to delete any registry entries, so I did a find in the registry for 'Network Associates' (the program folder) and deleted what was found. Tried to reinstall again and it still blew up. Any suggestions?

go to symantec.com and do a online virusscan to check if there is still virusses on your computer.
Then go to download.com and download regclean 4.1 to clean up any registry errors.

search also on mcafee in the registry.
Then try installing mcafee again.

While I was able to load the antivirus software from the internet, there had still been significant enough damage that I could not load any software from our network servers. It was time to upgrade the machine anyway. Thanx.
