Have read of this on the McAfee forum - the reply sounds pretty well informed.

And that was me that asked the question...
I'm 99% sure it worked but can't remember as just after that i parceled it up to send to Santa to bring for my daughter... I'll be able to check sometime tomorrow after he's delivered it..........

It was on this laptop which is running Vista and I got rid of McAfee by using the UNINSTALL system. It's in CONTROL PANEL, then under PROGRAMS
it says "Uninstall a programme"

.....simples, or is it me? Were you after something else?

Happy Christmas

This is the problem with initialism reuse - duplication.
