    Chinese sign for my year :- Rabbit: Sociable, Discreet, Refined, Shrewd, Perceptive, Sensitive, Aloof.

    While they may not like it, the Rabbit is a timid, attractive being who is usually non-confrontational. Rabbits are very popular with friends and family. They are inherently compassionate and protective of those they care about. Rabbits idealize their relationships and may give far more of themselves than is healthy. Fortunately the Rabbit surrounds itself with friends and family who will help it regain its balance when thrown off emotionally.

    Rabbits are a bit fragile and need a solid social foundation in order to thrive. Without a strong family and close friends the Rabbit will not stand up well to adversity. Rabbits are so sensitive to their feelings that any emotional upset may make them physically sick. Rabbits can be pessimistic if they feel as though their lives are at a stand-still. By nature they are insecure about their place in the world. Rabbits move through life at their own pace. They are both contemplative and often procrastinators.

    Rabbits love the home life. Within a strong family environment the Rabbit may find the security it needs to blossom and become more self-assertive.

  3. Download the CCleaner winapp2.ini and place it in CCleaners "Programs File" folder.

     

    The entries for "Macromedia" (which adresses those "settings.sol" files) are in this ini file.

     

    winapp2.ini:

     

    The download is at the end of the first post, and is the most recent one. You can simply unzip this into CCleaners folder. If done correctly, you should see "asterisked" entries in CCleaner, as here:

     

    i660_MacromediaEntries.jpg

     

    An asterisk denotes a winapp2.ini entry. If you ever have a "settings.sol" file you wish to keep, exclude this within CCleaners Options/Exclude File or Folder. That's what I do.

     

    Thank you for that info. I've down loaded and used it. I'm sure w1r1 will thank you in due course.

  6. Hello again Fred,

    Tried a little bit more looking around and found this fix a few times, of course it will depend on if you still have the files there

     

    Go to My Computer/ C Drive/programs files and see if McAfee folder is still there. If it is open it and then open the agent folder and app folder and delete any files ending in .adf which appear in them.

     

    One other obscure one I found was Control panel/Administitive tools/computer management/services&applications then services. Look to the right hand panel and delete anything you see there to do with McAfee.

     

    Yes please tell us how things go with this problem, it could help others!

     

    P.S. Did you have the full security suite installed?

     

     

    Thanks sincerely for staying with my case HAZELNUT. B):D

    I had the full McAfee Internet Security Suite 7. I've become dis-illusioned with them so I un-installed it thro' the Add/Remove Programs tool. I removed all other McAfee files after Search, then looked thro' Windows Explorer and deleted all McAfee files I could find. These 7 files(I call them files, CC calls them programs) I think must be in the registry.

    Having installed CC, I then found that these 7 files are set to run at start-up, but would not delete.

    I have just been thro' your suggestion in the Control Panel Hazelnut, but can find nothing in services to do with McAfee.

    I have not received a reply from their Tech unit yet (that seems par for the course, but perhaps I'm being too anti McAfee) :rolleyes: I'll report when I get a reply.

    I hope I'm not boring you.

    Regards

    Fred

  7. Hello Fred, there is some sort of mcafee uninstall tool listed here on the mcafee site for people who still have componants leftover

    This site apparently contains a list for all products apart from 2007

     

    http://forums.mcafeehelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=71943

     

    and another tool here

    http://ts.mcafeehelp.com/?siteID=1&resolution=1024x768 choose your product on the lefthand side drop down box.

     

     

    Thanks for your response ANDAVARI and HAZELNUT B)

    I've downloaded the McAfee Removal Tool (MCPR.exe) and run it. But the problem still exists.

    I've tried their "Internet Chat" with a real person but the space in the window to type the message is so small and it doesn't scroll along, so you are typing blind, coupled with the amount of time they give you to respond (60secs), it's difficult to explain the situation. :rolleyes:

     

    So I've Emailed the problem to thier tech support and hope for an answer.

    Do you want me to report the outcome of that?

     

    Just in case anybody else has this problem the files are:- MSKAGENT.EXE MCAgentExe MCUpdateExe MPFExe VSOCheckTask VirusScan Online MSKAGENTEXE

     

    Regards :)

  8. Cannot get CCs start-up tool to delete 7 McAfee start up files. (McAfee suite is un-installed)

    I have run Mike Lins Start Up Control Panel, & when I un-tick them on the control panel they reappear immediately with its box ticked. If I delete them, they reappear, and after a Restart they still show on startup list. :angry:

    I have Run Dial-a-Fix Repair Permissions tool. then tried both CCs Start-up Tool, and Mike Lins Panel again, but with the same results (still there). :(

    Please can you help. :)

    Fred
