No prpoblems with McAFee uninstall .... apart from being p*ssed off that it installs in theh first place. The same problems arise with Java updates. I know they want to make money but this type of "stealth acceptance by default" is just so, so annoying.

So that's how the sex mad b*stard's software got on my computer! The trouble is there are so many upgrades for Acrobat and Java in particular that it is very easy to just hit install. Anyone know if there are any problems un-installing McAfee Security Scan Plus ?
