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?


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

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 :-)

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.)
