Some of you have complained about how uninstalling Norton seems to create problems with installing other AV programs. Guess what! It wasn't your imagination.

This week's Window's Secrets confirms it and suggests some fixes.

Hi

I could write pages about trying to uninstall McAfee Security Suite from my computer. It would say that it couldn't uninstall until I reinstalled, etc. etc. etc.

Even after days of trying I finally had to go into the services window and disable several McAfee applications that just wouldn't go away.

I now use AVG, ZoneAlarm and Spybot, along with spyblaster and a couple of other cleaners and my computer runs better then it did when I first got it.

Mike
