Getting rid of McAfee on new laptop.

[ringway]

My new laptop comes pre-installed with McAfee.

I have used AVG-Free for a while and am happy with it.


I'm not a fan of the likes of Norton/McAfee and would like to uninstall the McAfee before registering the product.

Is there a sure-fire way to get McAfee out of the system (Windows 7) completely before my machine gets bogged down with all its carp?

Thanks in advance.

Paul.

I think this is what you need:

Download and run the Norton Removal Tool

The Norton removal tool will NOT remove McAfee... two totally different products from rival companies...

McAffee removal instructions:
How to uninstall or reinstall supported McAfee consumer products using the McAfee Consumer Products Removal tool (MCPR.exe)

Good. Get Nod32 or Kaspersky.

+1 for Kaspersky

 

[kay7]

here are some specs:
/admin_ietf/reg/eu/uk/Crack Times/

McAfee 2:32
Norton 2:19
AVG 2:12
Bullguard 2:14
Nod32 14:54
Kaspersky 14:45

And the list can be bigger. These are real times cracking times which means the best possible time for a hacker to get into your PC.

Id recommend Trustix for Mac users or if on Linux....get Red Hat

On this topic, NOD32 ftw

I have a personal grudge with Norton... don't think I'll ever buy a symantec product again... which will be hard now that they've bought PGP...
