Need Help Removing McAfee AntiVirus from XP

    Hi,

    A friend's pc initially had McAfee Anti-Virus running on Windows ME. He then upgraded his OS to Windows XP.

    His McAfee only runs on ME and not XP. Since the upgrade, he receives a message at start up that his installed McAfee is not supported with his XP OS. McAfee can't be un-installed or removed in Add/Remove Programs, because this version of McAfee isn't supported in XP.

    Is there a way to remove McAfee (or any other unsupported software) without removing XP? There have been additional software upgrades and installations for XP that would have to be re-installed if XP is removed.

    Thanks.
