Hi I have removed 'McAfee Site Advisor' using windows & also 'IObit Uninstaller, which seemed fine. Noticed in Programs (x86)/McAfee, SiteAdvisor folder still there. There was an uninstall there which deleted some remains but not others? How best should I get rid of these remnants left? If I try & shred, it says it can't because still in use or some other program using? Firefox or IE are not using this now.

Appreciate your help

Thx

    Do you have any other Mcafee products installed? If not, run the MCPR tool.

    IObit Uninstaller
    - What a waste of time that is then.

    Yes McAfee AV but will uninstall after license runs out, so will use the MCPR Tool then. IObit uninstalled the site advisor addon in firefox, which wouldn't shift with Windows.
