Hi, I went to add/remove programs uninstalled mcafee then restarted and installed kaspersky. Kaspersky stops and says that mcafee is still in my computer. I can not find it, it is no where and I can not install kaspersky. I have done safe mode and nothing. Can anyone tell me how to get mcafee out of my computer? Thanks.
