So I thought I'd uninstalled McAfee security centre from my laptop by doing the uninstall from the control panel>remove programs option.

It went through a menu and said it was uninstalled and I restarted the PC. McAfee didn't start (no icon on the tray) so I thought all was well.

However, now when I go into security settings, it says McAfee is still running (firewall, malware and virus checker)
I've looked in Program Files, and there's no trace of it, looked in remove programs, it's not there, looked in msconfig, it's not there.

So I shut down and restarted - Prevx starts ok, no sign of McAfee. However, when I look in security settings it still says McAfee is the firewall, malware and virus protection and prevx is off - but Prevx is not off, it's on!

I downloaded an uninstaller from McAfee which started up, then crashed, so I restarted the PC (a few times) and each time I try to run the uninstaller it says it's already running - but it's not!
So now I don't know what to do. I'm stuck with Vista thinking McAfee is running, when it isn't even there, and an uninstaller which constantly thinks it's running, even after numerous restarts.

Should I try a registry cleaner?? Should I reinstal McAfee and try again....????

Help!
