Can't remove McUicnt.exe from the Notification Tray
 

I have a new Win7Pro HP notebook which came with McAfee. Since I wanted
a different antivir prog I followed McAfee's instructions to uninstall
it from the Control Panel, then ran the McAfee cleaner prog to remove
any remnants. It seemed to go fine, and I successfully installed another
antivir.

But McUicnt.exe still shows up in the Notification Tray ... meaning that
when I click Customize it is listed along side everything else.

I know I can set it to hide all the time, but I would just as soon get
rid of it entirely.

I tried deleting the two keys from the registry
(http://www.itsamples.com/notificatio...-cleaner.html), but after a
restart the damn thing is back!

I tried searching the hard drive for McUicnt.exe, but came up empty. (I
hope I did the search right - I am coming from XP and may be unfamiliar
with any Win7 quirks to searching for files).

Any ideas on how to get rid of this?

Win7's Search can be a bit iffy. I would download and try "Everything".
It is very fast and if McUicnt.exe is on your HD it will find it.

Well, we know how it came in :-) Came with an Adobe Flash update.

https://community.mcafee.com/thread/...art=0&tstart=0

I would take a look with Autoruns, and see if anything with "MC"
in the name, is listed in there. It could be that a Startup item
"fixes" all the changes you're trying to make, on a reboot :-)

Autoruns

The McAfee cleaner is supposed to remove stuff, but perhaps
you were supposed to use Programs and Features, to remove it
from there first. (More than one item might be present
in Programs and features.)

I believe I essentially did the same thing by manually deleting the two
keys with regedit and restarting the PC.

I've used the tool that you used before and it didn't work but this one
did. Worth a shot if it is just a notification icon and not something on
the computer.

OK. It seems to have worked. Now why would the .bat file work when
manually deleting the keys from the registry did not?

When doing it manually, did you kill Explorer before and restart it
after?

Well, I still don't understand why it doesn't work the other way. You
mention a "conflict", but I didn't see that word anywhere on that web
page. I guess I'll just have to settle for it working ... without a
clear explanation of why a reboot after the regedit doesn't behave the
same way.

Thanks all for your help.
