Any traces of either McAfee or AVG in the main console of Revo?

In Revo, click Tools, and select: Autorun Manager

Any traces of McAfee or AVG there? If so, right-click and delete.

In Internet Explorer, go to Tools (at the top) select: Manage add-ons

In the Add-on types area on the left, go thru each Add-on type and look for anything McAfee or AVG. Nuke it, if found.

Any progress?

NO, AVG is not coming up anymore. Revo and IE addons are clear of AVG but IE does have a McAfee Phishing Filter shown as diabled.

Answer to #389

c:\program files\mcafee is in the Run box. This is the EMPTY mcafee folder.

I saw the McAfee Phishing Filter on the hijack log.

Answer to #388----search shows c:\program files\mcafee and the folder is empty

Hijack does not show the phishing filter now but the phish still appears in IE add-ons as disabled. IE still has the virus detected message.
