McAfee Site Advisor Removal?

[joe2cool]

Hi I have removed 'McAfee Site Advisor' using windows & also 'IObit Uninstaller, which seemed fine. Noticed in Programs (x86)/McAfee, SiteAdvisor folder still there. There was an uninstall there which deleted some remains but not others? How best should I get rid of these remnants left? If I try & shred, it says it can't because still in use or some other program using? Firefox or IE are not using this now.

 

Appreciate your help

 

Thx

If Site-advisor is still being loaded and runs in background,

you should be able to Disable it using Security-Task-Manager,

then remove it?

If Not I would try Re-Naming the site-advisor folder or the files in that folder,

to see if they could then be deleted.

 

If that won't work you will probably need to use Windows-Registry-Editor (or some other Editor or Registry-Cleaner)

to remove entries, pretaining to Site-advisor, from the Registry.

McAfee Removal Tool

 

Your profile says you have Avast, if that is the case then you could try using the McAfee Removal Tool

That should clean up all traces of McAfee products

 

All the best, woz of oz

Hi do have 'Avast' on desktop, but McAfee AV on laptop but will remove once license runs out, & use 'Tool' then. I was thinking perhaps the 'siteAdvisor' folder is there because within the 'McAfee Security Center', you can download the 'siteAdvisor'

 

Thx guys will check info given, appreciated
