    My sister just gave me this computer with Windows XP and McAfee Security Center. I'd like to uninstall the McAfee, but naturally I cannot do it the standard way.

    I've downloaded the "MCPR" uninstaller program from McAfee, but that won't work either.

    I've read something about going to c: program files/mcafee.com/agent/app, I don't have that. The chain breaks after agent.

    Oh yeah, and I checked out the "free download" of Perfect Uninstaller. A scam...the download is free, but using the program requires you to pay for it. If I wasn't poor due to the Depression, I wouldn't be on a used computer.

    Anyone?
