Default Erratic Behavior after removal of McAfee

Hi:
I tried to 'Shut-down,' pressining 'Start' button at the far left corner
after removal of McAfee.
There is 'flash' several times and I need to forcibly shut-down the PC by
pressing 'button' of the PC.

That happened after 'un-install' McAfee. I need to forcibly shut-down the PC
by pressing 'button' of the PC. Even I can not open any program because PC
does not accept 'cursor' to do any task, as if there is no cursor/mouse.

Upon starting PC, asking which one to start, 'CD/DVD, 'Flash Drive,' and
the like. After pressing 'Enter' button several times, the PC start
normally.

Seems to me that 'McAfee-removal' took away 'dll' which needs to operate the
PC by using the mouse/cursor.

How to remedy this issue and normalize the PC as did before?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Default Erratic Behavior after removal of McAfee

What anti-virus application is installed now?

Was your McAfee subscription still current when you uninstalled it or had it
expired?

Did you also download/run the McAfee removal tool *before* you installed
your new anti-virus application?
