EDIT: You're right about McAfee though. I've learned the tricks to uninstalling it now, but it's incredibly obtuse. Why can't they just make the uninstaller work right?


Norton is the same, a friend's office computer from PC World (eMachines brand I think) had Internet Security preinstalled and there was absolutely no way to uninstall it, nothing in Add/Remove, nothing in the Start Menu folder, nothing in the Program Files folder. I think I disabled all the services and startup programs in the end, then I later found some obscure document on their website, although I don't think I've gone through that yet to finally zap it.

Considering there is a really irritating warning popup every time the machine is started, and every 1/2hr it is a really bad trick to get customers.
