McAfee Mcagent.exe - McAfee Security Center remains in my bar tasks in my system after McAfree has been uninstalled from the control panel.

Installation and activation of McAfee has been ignored in my Windows 7 startup initialization process. The system has been uninstalled using the control panel. But some debris such as (mcagent.exe - McAfee Security Center) remain in the taskbar on my computer. I chose to install Microsoft Security Essentials thereafter. Should I launch tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal (MCPR.exe) to eliminate the remaining vestiges of McAfee on my system, even if it has never been activated? Thanks for the reply...

If it has been activated or not makes no difference, use the McAfee removal tool

  • Satellite P875-31Z - cannot remove McAfee Security Center

    Hey there, I have a little problem, and so far, I have not been able to solve.

    I was helping a friend who is not as tech savvy like buying me a laptop, and he bought the Satellite P875-31Z.

    Now, it comes with preloaded software McAfee.
    I was able to uninstall most of the unwanted Mcafee software, but McAfee Security Center won't go away.

    It appears in the windows 8 'remove program' - list, it does not appear in the list of app store windows, and even the McAfee Consumer Product Removal Tool (Development) get rid of it. Well, she at least got rid of photo tile, now it's just a blank tile.

    It is part of some software from Toshiba and I have to remove some software that is also crucial for the proper functioning of, say, the function keys?

    I m wondering really you have this problem. On my laptop Win8 Satellite preinstalled under programs and features, there are two outcomes for McAffe:

    McAffe anti-theft and McAffe internet Security. I imagine that the same has to be on this P875 too.
    What needs to be done is the removal of McAffe Internet security. After restarting the laptop remove anti-theft McAffe and uninstall McAffe Security advisor, placed on the desktop (right click). All that s.

  • Message update\update.exe is not a valid file because the computer has been infected from malware attacks

    Original title: update\update.exe message is not a valid file when tried to install IE8 KB2744842 patch

    I got this virus live Platinum security.  I think about Microsoft bulletin as CVE - 2012 - 4969 Backdoor: Win 32/Poison.BR supposedly he is gone now with PC Tools Spyware Doctor with antivirus.  I can no longer get critical updates to www.update.microsoft.com and cannot go there and get either them.  I have automatic updates turn on my computer, but when I go to the update site, it asks me to turn on the automatic updates, but doesn't change from red to green.  If I click on the express, it gives me a message there is a problem with the web page.  I have read some solutions and typed in will looking for three files like BIT and update, but the only one listed was the workstation.  I did some research and found the servers to Windows IE8 patch KB2744842 and downloaded and when I tried to install it, he unpacked himself and then ran, and then I got the message saying that update\update is not a valid Win 32 application.  I searched this file and found it was created on 20/09/2012, the same day I had the terrible malware and under properties, it is called configuration of Windows Service Pack, the version of the 6.3.0004.1 built by: dnsrv, internal name update.exe, English, original name: update.exe on my computer, it is C:\\bb5d6cfc84bf6a13dde9b006.update

    Try to solve this problem cost me $230 plus the cost of PCTools Spyware.  I called a number to the www.spywarehelpcenter.com to support when I was having trouble installing the PCTools in safemode and said Malwarebytes Pro was much better and used by companies and he said he gave me $150 off so it cost me one once charge $50 and there is no renewal and sold me a one year $ 180 contract to remove the virus and the development of my computer.  He had insisted on it going remotely and showed me all these errors.   I think that I made a mistake to trust him.  Two technicians have worked on my computer remotely on two different days without a firewall and installed Malwarebytes Pro three times because it kept to give a message of corruption, and it is that when I pointed out to them there is no firewall that was added by a sort of sharedaccess.reg problem is I can't get and install the critical updates.  I trust a third time to do things?  They have deleted quite a few programs.  I think that maybe the problem is that they were not aware of the fixit patch and the full patch to IE8.  I run Windows XP Professional and probably should upgrade to Windows 7 in the near future.

    I should add that a few days before that happened, I noticed that if I went in sysedit, the config.sys and autoexec.bat files windows were empty.   My computer has always competed, but it seemed very slowly.  I could not find a solution for this and read that you don't really need these files.  I have the original operating system disk and has been reading how to install it, but only for the repair by pressing 'r' and let it repair missing files.   So I don't know what to do.  Any advice?  I am so tired of this, but still have hope to operate correctly.

    Hi Catnip009,

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: I suggest you to download and make a bootable CD or USB to Windows Defender in offline mode, and then run the tool.

  • After download of Internet Explorer 8 I can't open all the icons in the control panel. On display is come information that Windows cannot find 'C\WINDOWS\system32\rundll.32.exe '.

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    Yesterday, I downloaded Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 web from Microsoft Download Center.

    After downloading Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, I can't open any icons in the control panel.

    On display is come information that Windows cannot find 'C\WINDOWS\system32\rundll.32.exe '.

    Help, please. Thanks Gene.

    Thanks Gene.

    Dear: :

    Running sfc/scannow will not replace the missing rundll32.exe file.

    Why you post methods that do not work and will be just wasting time?

    Hove you never even seen this problem before, tried to recreate it so that you can actually see, or have you never really fixed?

    Why you learn not what sfc/scannow does and does not do?

    Here is a simple test to you and all your colleagues in the technical support engineer:

    Rename or delete just your c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe file is "missing".

    Rename rundll32.exe---> rundll32.xxx

    If you started normally, before you can blink, the 'missing' rundll32.exe file quickly and quietly replace the copy in the dllcache folder.  It is the Protection of Windows file in action and you will see something like this in the Event Viewer log system:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Windows File Protection
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 64002
    Description:
    File replacement was attempted on the protected system file c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe. This file was restored to the original version to maintain system stability. The file version of the system file is 5.1.2600.5512.

    I beg you to perform this simple test to know how the sfc/scannow:

    Boot your system to Safe Mode or the recovery for the Windows File Protection Console does not run.

    For this example, we will use the system critical file rundll32.exe.

    Rename or delete your c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe.exe file so the file is now "missing."

    A critical file, is it true?  It is on the list of the file 3498 knows the Protection of Windows and SFC files, but now he isn't.

    If Windows File Protection is running, the "missing" file would be quickly and silently replaced (try to rename or delete it in normal mode and it will be quickly and quietly replaced).

    Now, with your file rundll32.exe missing, start in Normal mode and try to use something like control panel to open something like Power Options and you'll see that familiar message:

    Control Panel
    Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe '.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.

    Now you have recreated a common problem with the missing file and seen the error of our own eyes.  A Microsoft Support Engineer will usually suggest running sfc/scannow for this kind of problem, but it will not work or help and you can prove it to yourself, and now you have reproduced the error.

    You follow own advice and run sfc/scannow to the end.

    The rundll32.exe is always had disappeared, right?  Did run sfc/scannow replace the missing critical system file?

    How can he be so sfc/scannow is supposed to replace the missing system files?  This is because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

    Now you know sfc/scannow does not.  He did not replace your missing system file (don't forget to put your rundll32.exe back so you will have a).

    Now, go to c:\windows\system32\dllcache and delete or rename the file rundll32.exe from there - and it will be gone and not replaced automatically because the Windows File Protection does not seem after this record.

    Run sfc/scannow in full again.

    Replace the file rundll32.exe missing in the dllcache folder, since it handles missing files (not the system32 folder) IS the folder that sfc/scannow.

    Now you know sfc/scannow does.

    Do you need help to know too much about the corrupt system files?

    Since most people do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, they will not be able to develop a copy of the file that is missing from the installation CD, they have not.

    After some directions on how to replace the file when the user has no XP bootable installation CD authentic and that will be useful to all.

    If you don't know how to say "I don't know how" and I'll help you.

    You want to inform/warn the poster that SP3 is installed that running sfc/scannow will take a long time for the installation of SP3 CD?

    If you do not have a CD with the same Service Pack as your installation (most people don't), the posters are in for a rough and frustrating time.

    Of course this will help with the detachment of the Ministry of Education of the impossible to try things that don't work, but I thought I'd throw it out there for the 100th time.

  • Try to run programs .exe produces the error message "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. "

    Hi all

    Help needed please.

    HP dx2250 microtower, running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, recently attacked by Vista Antispyware 2010. Norton 360 V3 dealt with rather late the virus, but the fall of the remains.

    I am unable to open any .exe file (program) on the desktop, start menu, or through the browser. I can access the programs in opening a data file, for example, double-click a .doc file opens MS Word, etc.

    The error message "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. "

    I tried an automated solution that is available via the forums (exefix_cu.reg) and also a manual suggestion to change the registry, also available through the forum.

    I also splashed by and purchased Regcure, who seems to have done no difference despite who claims to have removed 1500 odd errors. So I'll be request the refund on that one.

  • My iPad has been removed from secure devices!

    I received an email telling me that my iPad has been removed from my list of secure devices.  Apparently, if I read correctly, because it "has been DELETED."  But my iPad has NOT ERASED!

    I connected to my Apple ID page and restored my iPad to my secure devices.  I use 2 part checking my ID and for awhile, so I see no reason to change my password for Apple, as the email suggested (he recently changed before that), but I AM MISSING SOMETHING?

    Why would this happen?

  • Miss me the windows system32 rundll32.exe. I can't access the Add/Remove in the control panel.

    original title: missing file

    Miss me the windows system32 rundll32.exe. I can't access the Add/Remove in the control panel.

    I tried to start - run with my c/d operating system

    I checked for viruses

    I purchase software to remove etc and REG files.

    Now that the devil do?

    Thank you

    If this

    I tried to start - run with my c/d operating system

    means that you have tried to use sfc/scannow from start > run, your experience is not surprising.  This 'solution' is often suggested by people who don't really understand what this command does.  It does not help to restore a missing rundll32.exe file.

    For what is

    I checked for viruses

    What is the name and version of your anti-virus application?  When (approximately) their subscription expires? What other antimalware applications installed?  What other antimalware applications you used recently to scan your computer?

    If you have not yet used the "software to remove the REG files and etc." return for refund or throw it out.  "Registry cleaners", 'tuners', etc. are not useful.  If you used to "clean" the registry, use its "undo" feature (if it has one) to restore the registry.  Longtime MS MVP PA Bear:

    TIP: If you still think again your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, amplified, to the point, healed, twisted, fixed, enlarged, "swept" or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions. See also http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-windows-fact-of-life.aspx

    What probably happened is that your antivirus application deleted or quarantined in your file rundll32.exe thinking he was infected.  He could have, but probably not.  In any case, read the post that begins, "That 'solution' is not on my list." in the following thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-performance/systemrundllexe-not-found/6e30aff2-a88e-4d86-a654-753d54f632d1 you can also read the rest of the posts in this thread.

    Note that c:\windows\system32\dllcache is a hidden folder, but you who type in the address bar of Windows Explorer (or copy and paste), the folder should open anyway.

    Assuming you manage to restore rundll32.exe, download, install, update and run full scans (not at the same time) with each of the following free tools.
