Ok, My McAfee files got corrupted, so i tried to reinstall it but i cant because it says there is already a version of mcafee on there. so i went to add/remove and tried to remove it but it says theres an error and cant uninstall it. So how can i re=install it.
My computer is being a crackhead today
Go to McAfee.com and try the "Chat with an Expert" thing! I had the same problem once (actually I had several installation problems with McAfee) and this thing always help!
I would go into Program Files, delete the mcafee folder then go into the registry and take out the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Mcafee [entry]
Then try to re-install Mcafee
That could be handy too! Still, I once viewed a help topic related to such a problem, it said to look everywhere in the registry and delete all the keys containing McAfee!Quote:

That sounds terrible! :rolleyes:
I've taken Mcafee totaly out of the registry by hand and that is a pain in the arse, it seems to infest the registry with way too many entries. I think if its just taken out of that one hive key entry AND delete the Mcafee folder you can get by and re-install without all the extra "handy" reg. work....But beings that Mcafee makes all those "extra" reg entries ( I hate that s**t) I installed Norton instead...every time... :)
