I have recently installed McAfee 7.0 home edition. I want to remove it and have tried add/remove programs, and MSIEXEC forced uninstall but nothing works. McAfee tells me to use their manual unintall. I do not feel like going into the regiaster for the next 2 hours and manually removing their programs. God, I can't stand the Network Associates company. Is there an easier, more efficient way to eliminat ALL of the Mc Afee files?

Use mcAfee installation cd. Try reinstall it. It would detects the old one, then it should asks you if you want to uninstall it. Also, if you're planning to install a different vendor, it should also ask to uninstall the old one before it install the new product. Otherwise, you can use windows explorer to uninstall it.

I followed your instruction but the McAfee uninstall like Internet Explorer doesn't remove ALL the files. There are 187 misc. files attached with McAfee remaining and, here is the problem, some are shared files. I want to remove ALL McAfee files without spending 2 hours using the manual removal that McAfee suggests. This Manual removal is by register and takes forever. Any other suggestions on how to remove ALL the McAfee files?
