McAfee Uninstall Incomplete

Question

Hello,   How do I complete the uninstall of McAfree which was supplied with my Inspiron 5100? I did the uninstall about 1 to 1-1/2 years ago. There is a residue of McAfee still in my system.   It is nearly completely uninstalled, except: The windows explorer/my computer/local disk/program files still contains a McAfee.com folder [including McAfee.com/Agent/Uninstall] In just the last few days the McAfee Security Center reminder has started to pop up to remind me to check for updates On the list of programs which are included when my system starts up, McAfee programs were still included [I forget the Start/Run/... command to check if this is still the case today] Other factors are: When I start MS Outlook I get the error msg 'cannot find '.../McAfee?.....dll [I'd like Outlook to stop looking for the McAfee dll file [MS Outlook works well with Trend Micro PC-cillin, which monitors all emails being recd [in addition to many other features/functions] On the Start/Pgm menu, McAfee is no longer there On the Add/Remove programs list of currently installed programs, McAfee is not listed Any suggestions appreciated, thanks   Bob

I had to do a complete manual search (including all hidden files on the search option) and manually delete all of them. Then I ran Cleanup! and it seemed to get rid of them. I also ran Hijackthis and got rid of some of their registry dll files, but be careful...
