    @jen – If the program was uninstalled already, chances are that a special uninstaller program will not be able to clean it up thoroughly anymore, simply because most of the information is gone from the computer.
    In general it is best to simply use the special uninstaller program in the first place to be sure all is removed (files AND configuration in the registry).

    Regarding the McAfee in the site, that actually means that the website is verified by McAfee, to ensure the website is clean and secure. It has nothing to do with the Secure Uninstaller software itself.

    The reinstall option is actually working a bit differently. When Secure Uninstaller uninstalls it, it can keep a copy of the files (not at the original install location), as well as information on the original location and the required configuration. After that it can reinstall the program using those details, but the “uninstalled” situation is really a clean uninstall.

    Coming to your problem: have you tried booting in Safe Mode and then removing the McAfee file? Or installing the Trend Micro software? That might still work.

    @Kyle —I am really not sure if i want to purchase this product.
    I have been having trouble with my laptop which about 6 years old (DELL windows xp service pack 3).
    Im trying to install the new version of trend micro on it but it clashes with and old program that would of been on the computer when it was made McAfee, now according to add remove programs etc etc.. it doesn’t exists anymore but when trying to install trend micro a message pops up that i need to uninstall McAfee.com Internet Security Super (ja)Retail My problem being is that i have run countless mcafee uninstallers to no avail non of them have found this file .

    so i am now doubting weather or not this will will find it either.. i previously read your review on Perfect Uninstaller and didn’t like what i saw in the replies so i checked this review out.
    It seems legit but im still just not %100 sure if it will find the file i need removed successfully.

    Also if this program supposedly able’s u to reinstall programs that you realize that you needed after all, doesn’t that mean its still storing the files and removing completely..I WANT THIS FILE GONE!! i dont want it kept aside for future reference!…

    what should i do?

    @ron – I can understand your worry, but we have used the program to uninstall quite a few pograms on different Windows computers already and have not run into any problems with any of them.
    But of course it is always a good idea to make a backup of your Windows folder and Program Files folder in case you uninstall anything, since those are the main affected file locations. And make a restore point so your system configuration is also saved, that way you can easily revert to a previous situation.

    perfect uninstaller later worked perfectly well, secure uninstaller had no trial versions, so I cudnt use it. Perfect u. later showed the program I was looking for.
