I am trying to uninstall McAfee anti virus program that was installed on my new laptop when I bought it. It began to play up after only two weeks, and I prefer Trend. After a few UNSUCCESSFUL efforts going through 'install/ uninstall programs' on the Control panel, I am getting "The INSTALLATION cannot CONTINUE because components (c:\program-1\mcafee.com\agent\uninst\screm.ini) are missing". Could someone please talk me through the process please? :-?Do you have a CD with the McAffee program on it?
Try reinstalling it from CD, then uninstalling it again.
Alternatively, try using CCleaner's uninstaller to remove the program - see here for instructions.
Hope this helps.Thank you Calum, I have done that and McAfee is banished from my system! I actually had ccleaner downloaded as I have used it on my last comuter with great success. Your instructions did the trick.Cool, glad you got it sorted.
Mcaffee PRODUCTS can be TRICKY to remove, but not as bad as Norton/Symantec.There is a McAfee uninstaller you can download from McAfee but I don't have the link. Here is another one.
