Also have deleted any refernce to McAfee in the registry, and deleted any folders. It must have a reference somewhere (I presume registry) that fires back up when I try and install this version thats paid for and disables system scan and prompts for payment. Thanks anyways :) any other ideas?	Guest (0)
