Repeated McAfee alerts
Hey folks!
Wish I knew how it started but anyway... now McAfee pops up several times a day warnings on 3 files. Here are screen shots of the messages:
http://mudshark.com/prockill-an.jpg
http://mudshark.com/euniverse.jpg
http://mudshark.com/tightvnc.jpg
The message reads: Potentially Unwanted Program Detected.
Here are the names of the 3 files as per McAfee:
Adware-eUniverse
ProcKill-AN
RemAdm-TightVNC
All 3 files are locked files in a temp directory.
I always choose "Remove the program" and press OK
The next window that opens says: To remove these programs using the McAfee uninstaller, click OK. Or, click Cancel and then manually remove them using the vendor's uninstaller. Programs that may have been installed as a bundle or suite are about to be removed. You may have accepted a license agreement for these programs.
I always press OK.
The next window that opens says: The Potentially Unwanted Program cannot be removed. McAfee recommends that you try to remove the program using Add or Remove Programs in Windows.
I always press OK.
At any rate these programs are still hiding (?) on my PC and UI'd like to get rid of them. Any ideas?
I have Windows XPsp2 and I also do have, and use, UltraVNC. AVG does not complain about these files.
Thx much, all...
