Can I reinstall McAfee without uninstalling the program? I want to have the 2009 version...

No as it wont work. The servers are geared only to fresh installations right now.

To protect you whilst uninstalling the old version enable Windows Firewall.

Go ahead download without removing the old one the new version with download and remove the old version (unless its not as old as 2005):)

Not working.... I tried to install w/o uninstall the software = doesnt work at all 😞

My subscription is going to expire in 1[1/2] year. Does this mean that I can not download 09 version?

One more question, what are the differences in 08 versus 09 version? :cool:

The removal of old version works fine every where did you get a DMsetup file from the account?

If so what was its size?

there are , few differences mostly cosmetic and it does take lesser resources..

you can sure download and use 2009 products if its available for your server

I installed 2009 version from my account with no problems at all on 2 of my computers running windows xp home edition. It was a typical install and automatically uninstalled 2008 version. I am in Ohio and 2009 version downloaded perfect for me.

PS it even remembered all of my previous settings from 2008 version.
