Hmmm, the phrases "quality product" and "daunting process" when trying to
uninstall it seem a bit contradictory. A "quality product" should not make
itself so "daunting" to remove. After all, any sighted person should have
the option to uninstall any software that was installed on their system, and
making the product difficult to remove is not a sign of quality.

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.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Removing McAfee anti virus
Just got a new HP desktop running Windows 8, the latest version. 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.
