615901	2007-11-28 15:41:00	Looks like some bigger issues for me now :(. I could start windows normally but now without even going on to net or opening the browser. Let me know if you need more details or other logs.	mechadios (13071)

McAfee when damaged can be a real Ba**rd to remove, download This here (www.softpedia.com) Its designed to remove damaged McAfee software. Quick Question: Is this a Name Brand PC, Eg. HP / Compaq ? The reason is on the boot menu default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOW S [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windo ws XP Media Center Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptOut Its saying to boot from Partition 2, usually it is partition 1 unless there is a hidden recovery Partition.	wainuitech (129)

615905	2007-11-29 03:50:00	wainuitech, That's what I doubted once I disabled the Mcafee services it ran for quite some time and when I was trying to uninstall it, it hanged and screwed the MCafee uninstaller also so will use the tool you have suggested to remove McAfee. Norton is already gone. Btw It is a Dell machine Inspiron E1505 with MEdia Center. Speedy, Which file in recycle bin, now it does not crash after I booted with last known good configuration but still hangs in normal mode with or without opening the browser. Thanks	mechadios (13071)
615906	2007-11-29 04:05:00	have removed Mcafee with the suggested tool and cleaned the registry with ccleaner. sucessfuly booted in normal mode, Let's see how long it runs. Even if it runs normally now I don't have Mcafee and any other virus protection now. Do you suggest Comodo firewall or anything else? saw it in your signature. I need to have some security Mcafee was preinstalled.	mechadios (13071)
615907	2007-11-29 04:13:00	Install Avast Home (www.avast.com), if you want a free AV program. Its missing a few options the Pro version has. You do have to register for a key (you have to put your email in on the site for them to send u a key), which lasts for 12 - 18 mths I think. If u decide to get it, after its been installed, right mouse on the a icon on the taskbar / about Avast. Click on licence key. And copy and paste the key in. Once its installed tho, it gives u the option to do a boot scan or something. Say no, it can hang.. And it'll reboot back into Windows. Comodo is OK, it can be tricky to configure tho...But its free. Remember to disable XP's firewall tho. Before you install it. Dont worry about the file in the recycle bin. If it boots and doesnt crash, thats the main thing. Check task manager if it opens... Whats using the most memory/CPU??	Speedy Gonzales (78)
615908	2007-11-29 04:44:00	It hanged yet again in normal mode. Process which are taking memory are: firefox explorer MSMpEng SVChost (multiple) Recycle bin is empty. and SR is also turned off.	mechadios (13071)
