McAfee and MSN

[Professor Joe]

one of our students would like to uninstall McAfee and go with a
lighter more efficient program like clamwin.

He completely uninstalled all of McAfee last night (he says) and it
automatically reinstalled this a.m. when he turned his xp machine back
on.

What would you have him do to get rid of McAfee once and for all?

Much thanks, good people
Professor Joe

You can also search the Registry for McAfee and delete anything that you
find. Or just wait until the computer starts running slow from all the adding
and removing of Programs and run a Registry Cleaner to save the tax payers
some cash.
