    Ok,this is a very long story so bear with me. I had downloaded a macafee viriss thing and it worked perfectly. I had started a viriss scan and put it aside. All the suden it told me i would get more protection if i downloaded this thing. So i downloaded it and it told me to restart my comp. to make the action take affect, it said to push this butten to restart. I was trying to be smart and I put it aside and waited for the viris scan to finish. But,somehow, it automatickly clicked restart and it did. When it came back on it said some of the files were missing and i had to reinstall macafee. so i clicked on the macafee icon and it said the same thing that i needed to reinstall it. So i put in the disk and i tryed but it said the same thing. But luckuly a thing poped up the asked me if i wanted to uninstall macafee to get a new virus protecter. so i pushed uninstall but it said unable to uninstall. so i manualy deleted the icons and then went to add and remove programs and tryed to delete it there perminitly but it said(of course) i had to end any program that was macafee but i wasnt using anything!!! Now i went to the yahoo website and am ready to downloade the yahoo virus thing but it says to mack sure that every oter virus scaner is deleted. HOW DO I DELETE THE STUPED MACAFEE!!!! IF NO ONE KNOWS HOW THAN IS IT OK IF I HAVE TWO VIRUS SCANERS??????
