Cannot find/delete McAfee VirusScan

I tried to install ZoneAlarm Pro on my computer. Every time I try, a notification pops up saying "GLB2A30.tmp has stopped working" Once I hit 'Close Program' a notification pops up saying
"Address a problem with McAfee VirusScan

McAfee VirusScan has stopped working properly."


I used to have McAfee, but I deleted it sometime ago, but it keeps saying I have McAfee VirusScan still on my computer. I cannot locate it. Any help?

Re: Cannot find/delete McAfee VirusScan

Thank you. That is what I was looking for. The removal tool. Sadly, that did not fix my problem. I don't know what to do. I'm installing ZoneAlarm, I don't know why I would get a message saying McAfee Virus Scan (which I've searche registry and all and cannot find) isn't responding.

You have to reinstall McAfee and then delete it with the MCPR.exe.

You have to pay for McAfee though. How could I re-install it.

It's available as a free trial.

Re: Cannot find/delete McAfee VirusScan

So you think if I install this free trial, use the removal tool to remove everything, this will solve me problem?

Re: Cannot find/delete McAfee VirusScan

It is my experience that the MCPR.exe and similar programs cannot remove "leftovers" from a partial deinstallation. They apparently loose their bearings. There are good chances that a full McAfee will be removed properly because during the reinstallation, they replace the old residual hooks. No guarentee though.
