Unable to install Mcafee Security suite (confling software)

After renewing and attempting to install latest version of McAfee Security Suite I receive a message "Remove Spybot Search and Destroy VirusScan". I followed instructions, using Windows add/remove software, then deleted Spybot Search and Destroy folder from C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Spybot Search and Destroy, rebooted, and continue to receive the Remove Spybot Search and Destroy. How do I get around this block so I can continue the install of my McAfee Home Security Suite?

Thanks,

I would suggest you to call for a McAfee Help Number and you will surely be getting instant help. As per my knowledge, they are known for working to make your PC more secure. If you are unable to install McAfee Security Suite, then I would suggest you to go for a good McAfee Technical Support Phone Number and get technical support at one go.

McAfee's uninstall doesn't work. They know that, so they have a special removal tool that you download and run. The instructions are here: http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507

Follow the directions carefully. If you think it's hard to remove McAfee, try Norton sometime.

Mcafee security is saying my computer is at risk. When I click on Fix after 5 mins a window opens telling me to re-install Mcafee security suite. How do I do this.

You must have your original mcafee software CD or have it downloaded somewhere.

Goto the control panel and then add/remove programs. Uninstall it from there, restart the computer, and then re-install it.
