No not really. McAfee even has a removal tool to actually remove it that you can get from McAfee. Add/Remove programs still leaves a lot of traces of McAfee, it just doesn't want to uninstall.
Uggg, I just remove Groupshield last weekend. I didn't really try to do a good clean removal because the Exchange server will be going away in a very short time as I'm in the process of setting up E2K3. (No, I'm not going to E2K10 because licenses were bought for E2K3 & no money available for another upgrade at this time.)
