So*, when I got my laptop I got a trial subscription to McAffee virus protection, which has served me quite well until today, when it ran out. I then promptly switched to Samantec, which my school gives for free, but first I went to uninstall all the McAffee software off my computer.

But here's the deal: I can uninstall the firewall, spyware, and all the other 'individual' bits, but I can't get rid of the Security Center interface window, because it says that I still have other McAffee items on my computer. Which I *don't*. Is there some hidden file somewhere I can check? Would emptying my internet cache do anything? *Is mildly annoyed*

Did you restart after removing the other ones, and then try to remove the Security Center?

You shouldn't need to restart after each one, just after uninstalling all of them. So... I don't know what the problem is. You could try to go to "Add/Remove Programs" in Control Panel and see directly there if there's any other McAffee software installed.
