VirusScan Uninstall Tip
I am still dealing with virus-related issues and want to pass on a tip. If you are using McAfee VirusScan and plan to uninstall or replace with another product, disable Access Protection BEFORE you uninstall VirusScan else some components will remain installed.
If you are not using the Access Protection features, no problem. However, if are using and plan to uninstall just double check. I forgot to disable the Access Protection and I was left with a partial uninstall. Post uninstall, the Framework Service was intact and running.
Well, you have two immediate options 1) re-install VirusScan, disable the Access Protection, and uninstall or 2) manually remove the service, registry entries, folder, etc. If you are like me you will choose option 2. Masochists head to the McAfee KB.
