• McAfee Security Scan more and Trend Micro Security Conflict?

  I have Trend Micro security on my windows vista PC Dell.  A few months ago, I noticed that I also have McAfee Security Scan Plus wants to periodically scan my PC.  I didn't ask to install McAfee security Scan Plus, so I don't know where it comes from.  I wonder if it is not authentic, as well as the way in which it on my PC.  Do I have to get rid of him, and if yes, how do I do that?

  Sometimes the PC manufactures such as Dell will put a free demo of product antivirus PC or laptop that sell them. These anti-virus would expire after the trial and you could buy it or uninstall it.

  If you have Trend Micro, you could go into Control Panel, add/remove programs and uninstall McAfee.

• McAfee Security Scan more! ??

  McAfee Security Scan Plus is automatically downloaded and installed via "Adobe Download Manager", when I update the Plugin of Firefox Acrobat! I didn't even ask if I wanted to install it! IT IS TOTALLY LAME ADOBE! I can no longer trust downloads and installations of Adobe. Is no longer a 'reliable Source '!

  http://get.Adobe.com/reader/ Just went there, and this time, I noticed the inclusion of McAfee, ALREADY CHECKED and also good box hidden far enough towards the top-right of the download button to be away from the fovea. I think it is fair to assume that Adobe has some expertise in user interface design, in which case this position indicates Adobe of the INTENTION of the user to miss this detail.

• Do I need McAfee Security Scan with Firefox?

  Do I need to use the security program McAfee with Firefox?
  I just bought a new computer, and these are security programs installed. The default seems to be Firefox & I have to re-register in June for McAfee.

  Firefox is just a browser, you still need an anti-virus program and a firewall.

  There is no need to pay for them, there are some free alternatives. I use the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials.

• Impossible to uninstall McAfee SpamKiller

  I can't get my McAfee SpamKiller go - disable or uninstall.  I used to have, it has expired and I don't want to come back.  The rest of my Security Center is always current (not expired) and I don't want to get rid of it.

  In Add/Remove Programs, it is not there.  Only the entire McAfee Security Center is here, and I wouldn't rather uninstall the ENTIRE package.

  In the program, McAfee Security Center itself, I get a message saying that I am not protected (well, I hate the SpamKiller anyway) but there is no option to uninstall or disable.  I've searched high and low.

  I even said the software DO NOT tell me what anti-spam protection is not installed, but I still get regular pop-ups that my software has expired.

  Please, is it possible to get SpamKiller out of my computer?  Even in program files, there's an uninstall exe to run!
