Hello everyone.  I've tried literally EVERYTHING possible to solve this problem through McAfee "support" but nothing worked.  My Dell is 4 months old (running on Windows XP) and got McAfee through my being a Comcast customer.  McAfee said that it needed to be verified a lot and never worked properly so I wanted to just get rid of it.  Now it went haywire, and whenever I start up my computer, these are the error messages that come up.  They all come up at once:

 

-"Some components of ActiveShield are either missing or might not have been installed properly."

-"Some McAfee SecurityCenter components might not have been installed or launched properly.  Restart your computer to fix this.  If this message appears again after restart please reinstall McAfee SecurityCenter."

-"An application component is missing.  Please reinstall McAfee Privacy Service.  Error Code (7.1.015)"

 

Now, I have not touched ANYTHING and before a couple days ago everything was fine (besides McAfee just not working properly anyway...).  When I try to uninstall it through Add/Remove Programs, I get this message:

 

"Installation could not continue because some components (c:\progra~1\mcafee.com\agent\uninst\mpfrem.ui) are missing."

 

I just want McAfee OFF my computer and out of my life forever.  This is not the first time I've had problems with McAfee, because my mom and her computer had problems like this.  Please, if anyone can help I would be so grateful.
