McAfee Active Shield question

background ~ computer was "dumped" and restored to factory state. McAfee came preinstalled I uninstalled it using Add/Remove programs. (btw this is computer #2 XP pro sp2 OS mainly firefox but for kids it will be SBC browser due to parental control).

problem ~ in the system tray the McAfee Active Shield still displays. How do I get this gone from the system tray?? If I click on it it brings up for me to select how I want this to scan my computer and to set up a time for automatic updates. Yet McAfee is no longer in my Add/Remove programs or in my programs.

Solution??? ~

Use the mcafee uninstaller found at this location on MajorGeeks this will remove all traces of mcafee.

 

thank you I did that I downloaded that and ran it.. and clicked Y to reboot computer.

Now whenever I reboot the computer it says that there is a component missing and that I need to reinstall active shield and it goes to the browser for me to reinstall active shield.. now what????

thanks,
