Switching off Macafee
How do I do this?
I am trying to download a file from what I know to be a safe source and it won't let me. I just keep getting a thing saying "we have searched this and it may contain spyware so click to download anyway or block"
I click to download anyway but it just keeps blocking then taking me away from the download. I am just going to switch it off, how dare it decide for me what I can and can't download, I know this file to be safe!

If it's hard to do, it's not worth doing.

McAfee is now a part of Intel. In fact, Intel thinks they might build McAfee into the processors, which gives some advantages.
Dell used to provide 15 months of Nortons but they've changed over to McAfee now.
The information about the Intel information was in one of the UK computer magazines.
Also, CB, if you're running the two anti-virus programs at the same time, it just causes problems.

Explains how to uninstall the program....
Then scroll down to the removal tool link then download the removal tool, the link is displayed on the site lower down on the page,save it to desktop.
Then run it after you've uninstalled the program.
Here's the link if you can't find it:
http://download.mcafee.com/products/lic ... s/MCPR.exe
This tool will remove ALL traces of the program from the PC
Let me know how you get on.
Cheers Rob
