INSTALLER FAILED, KEEPS TRYING TO INSTALL

Gee thanks, Mcafee.  Your trial installer keeps failing to install, even after I followed the instructions to run the remover and preparation utilities.  Now though, every time I boot my computer it tries to install Mcafee again and bogs down my computer.  I've removed the installers, run the MCPR utility, checked Add/Remove programs for anything hanging on, even made sure that it wasn't in windows' start up apps list, but this zombie-ware just won't go away.  PLEASE JUST MAKE IT STOP!

Best you call support they will sort this out I hope. They may need to access your PC trust them they have done that several times for me.

This is strange! Let us know if Support was able to resolve otherwise we can investigate further.
