Help!!! Cannot remove McAfee Shredder!!

My account with McAfee has expired and I am taking advantage of the free virus security through my internet provider with Norton.

I uninstalled McAfee through my control panel and I have also searched any/all files containing the word McAfee and deleted them.

Norton Virus protection is not installing because I have not uninstalled "McAfee Shredder". I have removed all traces of McAfee and have also gone to their website and uploaded a removal tool and I am still having problems.

If anyone has any other suggestions to remove McAfee Shredder please let me know

Thanks!

Mc Afee supplies a program that can do this. I can't remember the name of it (as I changed the name when i saved it to my computer). I still have it...if anyone wants it PM me and I can email it to you...it's 548kb
