Troublesome alert window

I keep getting an alert Window from WinPatrol advising that McAfee Application Installer Cleanup is trying to register as a new Windows service.

I used the McAfee Application Installer Cleanup an eon ago, but wasn't even aware that I had this on my computer. The only thing of McAfee's that I have is Site Advisor, the free version.

Does anyone know why this keeps trying to register? I see that it is showing the location in some Windows temp folder.

I don't think this link is going to help me. I did use the uninstall tool, and followed McAfee's instructions, when I uninstalled their factory loaded virus program from my computer a very long time ago. Somehow, it must have left something. But when you go to my Programs and Features there is nothing related to McAfee except Site Advisor.

A long time ago I even downloaded the uninstall tool and ran it again.

The only thing I have in my Program Files folder that relates to McAfee is Site Advisor.

I checked in Services and there is an entry there for McAfee Application Uninstaller. It was set to auto. I changed it from auto to manual. Maybe that will stop the pop up.

I guess I'm just stuck with this. It's been popping up for a long time, but it will be silent for a while and then it will start again.

Experiment, my friend, get rid of site advisor and see what happens.
Try the %temp% see what happens.
Go to search type Mcafee, make sure all references are gone.
