Please help with removal of epolicy orchestrator

[missgoogler]

Does anyone know how to safely remove epolicy orchestrator from my PC?
I'm running Windows XP.

Mcafee Virus protection was required by my college when I lived on
campus and now I want to switch to use a different antivirus. I
successfully uninstalled McAfee via the add/remove programs function in
windows XP, but I can't figure out how to remove the epolicy
orchestrator that was installed on my computer.

I've tried deleting the folder in my registry, but it comes back after
I reboot my computer.

I did some searching and found some info about removing the program,
but all the files are from several years ago. I don't know much about
regedit, so I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing for XP.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi ... No thats it , Did it work ? Were you able to remove epolicy
orchestrator ?

 

[missgoogler]

A box popped up that says "Mcafee agent and updater installation" with
notes in it that say:
searching for previous install, previous install found, switching to
upgrade mode, the command line parameters specified are invalid, the
installation was not successfull.

Was I suppose to copy paste that including the quotation marks?... like
this:
"C:\Program Files\Network Associates\Common Framework\FrmInst.exe"
/remove=agent

Hi ... without the quotation marks , here if you like is where I got it from

I copied it directly from the site with the quotation marks and it
worked perfectly!

I can't believe how difficult they make it to remove EPO!

Thanks again.
