  1. After uninstall, Macafee Security link still in Start Menu. How to remove


    I fired up my new HP Pavillion, created an admin account and immediately uninstalled MacAfee Security as I planned on using windows defender + Malwarebytes. I used the programs and features tool to uninstall it. This seemed to work.


    However, a link to MacAfee Security still remains in the standard user accounts. I cant seem to get rid of these. I emphasize that the MacAfee link is gone from the admin account.


    I've looked at all the start menu locations I know about under program data and user appdata, but I see no link there.


    Where could this link be coming from?


    Thanks for your help,


    Dan

    :)

    Start menu default internet acces icon screwed?

    @oil: That's what I did, but unfortunately it's different, it should be like "Internet" and should have the icon of FireFox.

    So.. Remove the icon via Start menu properties, uninstall FF (again) and install?
