VirusScan 5.1 was pre-installed on one of our company's Sony Vaio notebooks. O/S is W2K.
Per a tech note found at McAfee.com, I have tried automated removal from the control panel, and forced removal using the command line -- both failed. The next step is manual removal, involving pages of registry edits. I don't have the time or inclination to do this -- is there an alternative? I see a later version of VirusScan located at McAfee.com, available as a download for trial use. If I install this, then remove it, will it take the older version with it? Any other ideas? Thanks,
Jim
