| | delete a non existent service It's pretty much just an annoyance now. I long ago removed everything else associated with it. I have removed single name services. But the same steps don't work for this thing. McAfee SiteAdvisor Service. It's grayed out in the services list, The path no longer exists. And yet here it is in my task manager, and the services list. How do I remove it from my list of services ? |
