Removing Mcafee


Question

Greeting everyone,

I'm trying to install Kaspersky on a machine. During the install it tells me that Mcafee VirusScan Home Edition needs to be removed. So, first i looked under Add/Remove programs and its not there. Next, i did a google search and found the Mcafee Uninstaller Tool. Ran the tool, went to install Kaspersky again and no go. So, i looked though the log that the uninstaller left me for any unremoved files, reg entries, etc... and it still says that Mcafee is in there. The machine im working on is a windows 2000 machine, i found the following folder... C:\winnt\mcafee.com\freescan. my next thought was you unregister the dll's contained in that folder that didn't help me either. so at this point im stuck and have no clue how to get Kaspersky to install. any help would be greatly appreciated!

i tried using these tools so far... VSCleanupTool, MCPR & MCPR2. and i cleaned the registry using a couple different programs. i've been at this thing for hours already, but no matter what i do, somehow kaspersky detects mcafee still.

wihout their good removal tool you'll never succeed .

    • Report: iPhone Air isn't dead, and a second-generation model is planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Since the launch of the iPhone Air, we’ve heard conflicting rumors and speculation about the fate of Apple's ultra-thin iPhone. As it turns out, Apple is not going to ditch the Air model from its lineup, and a second generation is already planned for next year. As reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, citing people familiar with the matter, the second-generation iPhone Air is planned for spring 2027 and is poised to receive notable upgrades. The upgraded model, codenamed V62, will reportedly feature an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography. The new camera system is said to be in advanced testing within Apple. Gurman also says the second-generation iPhone Air could offer better battery life, either through a larger battery or software improvements. The overall design of the device is expected to remain unchanged. A single rear camera and below-average battery life were among the biggest drawbacks of the first-generation iPhone Air despite its $999 price tag. Hopefully, the next iPhone Air will fare better. Gurman also added that the device will be powered by the A20 Pro processor. The release of the second-generation iPhone Air in spring 2027 aligns with previous reports that Apple is shaking up the iPhone release cycle. Accordingly, the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the company’s first foldable iPhone are expected to launch in September 2026, followed by the iPhone 18 and the new iPhone Air roughly six months later. The 20th-anniversary iPhone is also reportedly planned for fall 2027. Meanwhile, if you’re planning to buy the refreshed iPhone Air, Apple might surprise you with a new price tag. As we reported today, CEO Tim Cook confirmed that price increases are on the way due to rising memory chip costs and a severe shortage. With that in mind, analysts estimate that the base iPhone 18 Pro could cost as much as $1,399 this year. The current $999 iPhone Air may not be immune to those price hikes.
