Last night i uninstalled the McAfee that came pre-installed on my M1530, which appeared to be completed successfully. However, when i tried to load AVG on afterwards it told me that i already had anti-virus installed. When i checked in the vista security center it did indeed tell me that McAfee was loaded and up-to-date.
Have tried now for many hours to get this removed so that i can load the other Anti-virus with no progress, tried checking registry, the uninstaller tool from Mcafee whilst also trying to find any rogue items left.![]()
Anyone else had this or got any ideas?![]()

Have you run CCleaner? It has an uninstall tool that works well too.

Reformat?
Should do it to boost your laptop's speed anyway. -

It does appear a bit of overkill simply to remove anti-virus though -
Just backup your files first. There's a great guide stickied in the dell forum.

i will be doing this too to change to AVG has been a great help thanks!

I want to do the same thing in removing Mcafee from my new 1530m. Would it be better to use ccleaner to uninstall rather than do an uninstall through vista?
