I recently purchased a hp750n computer that has Win XP and Macafee virus detector pre-installed. I want to change to another virus detector but I'm prevented from uninstalling the Macafee program. What is the problem?

Have you tried looking for an uninstall in the program menu for McAfee?

Some programs require you to run the installation program from the CD and select un-install.

Finally, look for FAQs on uninstall at McAfee's web site.

Use the cd-rom that accompanies the system to un-install any preloaded software afrom the system
You can also check the in Programs Menu to see if McAFEE has a uninstall option to remove the App

You also may be required to be logged in as Administrator (if you aren't already doing so) in order to install / uninstall software.
