I am trying to load DSL and the disk advised me to remove
McAfee. I went into add/delete programs and deleted the
application. The DSL guys tell me that there were residue
McAfee files and I should reload the software and
uninstall it by going through Programs. I reloaded the
software but whern I go into Programs and then McAfee,
there is no option to uninstall. DLS says I should
contact McAfee to walk me through "Their Way" of
uninstalling the software. Have you been through this?
They say I also need to contact Microsoft to rebuild my
winsock??? What's that all about? I don't understand
much of what they are telling me. I'm pay for DSL every
day and have no access to it. Please help me.
