McAfee service center
I am having difficulty setting up my BR Broadband. Cut a long story short have been advised by the BT Technical Dept that my virus software is stopping the broadband from connecting. I have tried to delete the software. There were 3 files, 2 deleted but the last one will not delete. It comes up with a message saying “Delete Macafee Service Centre” but there is no file of that description.
This is a fairly typical problem with the big security software programs. They leave all sorts of components lying around and don’t do a good job of removing them.
Fortunately the bigger software developer have removal tools for their products. In this case McAfee have the McAfee Consumer Product Removal tool and have the instructions for its use at their website.
If the problem with the connection continues you may want to check for other firewall or security programs on your computer by looking in the Add/Remove Programs applet.

I purchased McFEE back in 9/8/08, I had to reformat by
harddrive..so I lost all files..When I click on McAfee
security..sometimes it ask for activation code and sometime it does not( I downloaded the software again sometime in January 09)
The software seems not to be working on websites you can click on..usually it shows a green check mark or a red X,
Please inform me as the steps to take to fix that problem

Having trouble updating my “protection” in MSN for my anti virus. Have an error 1721 which is the Windows loader which is preventing me from receiving the update.
