McAfee reorder Message every two minutes

[DougF]

I used to use McAfee VirusScan then switched to Norton. Now McAfee has a message showing up on my computer every two minutes (I timed it) telling me I need to update my software. I deleted the McAfee program, deleted all registry entries pertaining to the program and still it shows up. Help!

Here is a link to manually uninstall mcaffee products. Try it. This should remove that silly warning

I tried everything on that page of instructions from McAfee and it didn't help. Thanks for the idea though.

Try a scan reg in command prompt. It should remove the culprit.

the only other thing I saw was to try and uninstall live update. That may be holding the message.

Finally got it to work so I'm a happy camper again. Thanks all for your help.

Glad ya got it fixed but would you share how you did it so the rest of us can spread the word so to speak in the future.

I had already deleted every referance to McAfee in the program files and in the registry so I downloaded the virusscan.reg file from McAfee and ran it. It was supposed to remove files from the regestry however for me it placed some files back in there. I removed these manually and that took care of my problem.
