They recommend running the removal tool only after running the uninstaller from programs and features. And yes the removal tool does have a CAPTCHA.
So to completely rid McAfee from ones system you'd need sighted assistance to solve the CAPTCHA. Webroot Secureanywhere is another that makes you solve a CAPTCHA in order to remove it from ones system. Speaking of Webroot, the last time I went to install a demo, I couldn't even install it without sighted assistance.

And somewhere in that process there is a CAPTCHA. Andy -----Original Message----- From: manny [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2014 11:29 AM To: Donald L.
