Mcaffe Problems

I tried to install Mcaffe Security on my computer (Vista Beta2 Build 5384)
and was told it failed, did I want to run it with better settings, so I
clicked yes, it then installed but gave an error saying it wasn't compatable
with the version of windows I have, so I tried to uninstall but it says the
program is not compatable, so I cant remove it and I cant install any more
anti virus software until Mcaffe is gone!

I've tried deleting all the program files for it and removed it from the
start up but I still cant get shot of it

What can I do now?

Re: Mcaffe Problems

Since I got no response to an earlier post on a similar problem, you will
probably have to manually remove it or may be able to do it partially
manually and use one of the registry cleaners to remove the registry entries
after manually removing the program from 'Programs'. Good luck.

Re: Mcaffe Problems

You'll have to do a registry search for anything McAfee or Network
Associates or NAI and delete.
