My McAfree expired a while ago and now my computer is full of Spyware and crap
Well, some how this unregistered Antivirus 2009 got installed and now it disrusts my computer every 5 minutes
I just want to get rid of this Antivirus thing until I get another McAfree program.
Does anyone know a free program that can delete it?

You might be as well to consider changing from MacAfee to a free AV that has better detection rates:
Avast anti-virus which better definitions, anti-spyware and anti-rootkit built in, faster and more reliable:
