The specified service does not exist as an installed service Windows Vista

[parg0lf]

This is the continuance of a forum post between myself and Gringo. Hi Gringo, I am unable to open the previous post that you and I were using, so I had to start a new one.

Hi Gringo, I tried to Uninstall McAfee through Add/Remove program with Windows running in normal mode and I got the same message as I did in safe mode. I tried to copy over the MCPR.exe program you recommended, but I in Normal mode Windows would not allow me to copy over the file, so I re-booted the PC in safe mode and was then able to copy MCPR.exe to my desktop. I ran MCPR as administrator, but at the end of the run it gave me an error message stating “Incomplete Uninstallation”. Below I have attached a few pages from the report from that run. The total report is several hundred pages in length, and too large to post, unless I do it as an attachment.

After further checking on my PC it does appear that McAfee was removed, as it does not exist in my Program Files directory. Looking forward to your next recommendation of steps to take. The PC is still in the same state, running in safe mode and I continue to get the same message saying that the specified service does not exist as an installed service for my network connection and from any program I try to open.
