    Hi guys,

    Having problems getting rid of McAfee Internet Suite 8. I uninstalled it as per add/remove programs in the Control Panel, but when I start Outlook I am getting error messages saying it cannot find outscan.dll and the "McAfee VirusScan Outlook Email Scanner is not loaded".

    I uninstalled it all without a problem, but obviously something is still there. This comes up in a HiJack log:

    O23 - Service: McAfee WSC Integration (McDetect.exe) - Unknown owner - c:\program files\mcafee.com\agent\mcdetect.exe (file missing)
    O23 - Service: McAfee.com McShield (McShield) - Unknown owner - c:\PROGRA~1\mcafee.com\vso\mcshield.exe (file missing)
    O23 - Service: McAfee Task Scheduler (McTskshd.exe) - Unknown owner - c:\PROGRA~1\mcafee.com\agent\mctskshd.exe (file missing)
    O23 - Service: McAfee SecurityCenter Update Manager (mcupdmgr.exe) - Unknown owner - C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee.com\Agent\mcupdmgr.exe (file missing)
    O23 - Service: McAfee.com VirusScan Online Realtime Engine (MCVSRte) - Unknown owner - c:\PROGRA~1\mcafee.com\vso\mcvsrte.exe (file missing)



    Is there any other way to do an uninstall? My System Mechanic 5 does not recognise the MCAfee as being installed and I'm far too amateur to go messing with the registry!!

    Any help would be appreciated.


    Many thanks, Fybo.
