This is truly tragic. McAfee is included routinely on new PCs and is commonly used in many places of employment because it is a quality product, and works well on networks. This is truly a black eye for Window Eyes. The Window Eyes team should be working day and night on a remedy to this problem rather than advising customers to simply dump McAfee, which is a daunting process, and may not even be possible if you are in a work setting where others determine what software is being used. WE's failure to work with McAfee can actually be a deal breaker for many, and will force them to use a different screen reader.

After getting Window-eyes installed, I began exploring and found the dreaded McAfee program. I remember seeing a post from the GW staff indicating that McAfee caused many problems and caused some parts of Window-eyes not to function. So what I hope someone will provide is step by step instructions for removing McAfee. I remember that one must have sighted help to accomplish this. So I don't want to request help until I know exactly how to remove McAfee. My old XP box has sure come in handy. Thanks in advance. Need help as soon as possible. Thanks.
