Afraid not, because none of them worked. If you would like to answer the
post and if you think you have the answer I will be more than glad to follow

Well, which do you want to do? What are you trying to accomplish? What
OS are you using? What version of McAfee? What have you tried so far? So
many questions, so little information.

You might need to try and /reinstall/ the un-named McAfee product and
then try to use MCPR again.

Why is your XP Home just at SP2?

Revo Uninstaller does the same thing, and is excellent freeware:

Hello Richard:

In that particular case, I might have tried working closely with Avast
support to resolve the issue.

It probably would be a registry entry that would keep you from going
back or going forward.

Hello Larry:

Agreed! I'd try almost any other viable utility before I tried the best
registry cleaners. One would be fearful that the hive would be
incomplete or damaged after an indiscriminant operation.
