turiasaurus Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I evaluated McAfee Site Advisor recently. Uninstalled it. Removed manually all the bits I could find and I thought CCleaner would find any registry entries I had not manually removed. I find " McAfee Antivirus" in the list of applications under CCleaner. ( McAfee Antivirus was used about 2.5 years ago . Since then the disk has been formatted twice). There should not be any trace of McAfee! How to get rid of bits of McAfee leftover?

Corona Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I've found that traces of what CCleaner finds and supposedly removes...if there's anything "leftover" they're harmless bits of registry hive nonsense that are usually 1 bit or 0 in size. Even on a small XP drive they're minimal at best. Certainly not something that should be "first priority" in regaining disk space. You wanna breathe of fresh air? Get a Windows 7 tower with a terabyte drive. Big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted January 22, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 22, 2012 McAfee probably has left over registry keys, and application data. If you installed it for a 3rd party browser such as Firefox it will also still be lingering inside your profile prefs file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Nergal Posted January 23, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 23, 2012 On topic guys you need to delete a folder in common apps directory %CommonAppData%\McAfee\MCLOGS depending on your operating system version that location may be in one of a few different locations ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
