Combofix Detects McAfee After Uninstallation
My mother has a HP G72 laptop. Her McAfee has expired and I'd like to get her on something else. From the Control Panel, I have uninstalled everything from McAfee, and Combofix still seems to think McAfee is installed.
I've tried the McAfee removal tool (MCPR), yes I ran it as Administrator from the actual Administrator account. No luck.
I've deleted every registry key I could find on McAfee, except for a few which do not allow me to do so, which I find strange since I'm under the Administrator account. I was unable to change permissions successfully to be able to delete these keys. I have nothing under C:\Program Files (or C:\Program Files 32) pertaining to McAfee.
I was able to install Microsoft Security Essentials, however when clicking it, it just opens and then closes immediately. This is why I decided to give ComboFix a try after some Googling. I went ahead and made ComboFix continue, and 3 lines came up, all related to McAfee with the product IDs. I tried searching the registry for these keys, but no luck.
Any help?
