Hi,  it's from McAfee, if you want we can uninstall it properly.

cireluz · Answer

Good evening, I do not want to uninstall McAfee, especially since I have it for 3 years.

cireluz · Answer

no one anymore ????

dr.pc1 · Answer

It's McAfee SiteAdvisor that needs to be uninstalled, not McAfee SecurityCenter, but I don't use McAfee, so I don't know if it's integrated or separate from the antivirus (McAfee SecurityCenter).

cireluz · Answer

I uninstalled it by going into uninstall programs and modifying McAfee  but CCleaner still tells me there is an obsolete key  isn't that strange !!

cireluz · Answer

Problem solved, thank you.

dr.pc1 · Answer

Give a new ZHPDiag report, your PC should be clean :-)

* Download RogueKiller to your desktop: here

- Close all running programs

- Under Vista/Seven, right-click -> run as administrator

- Otherwise, just launch RogueKiller.exe

- When prompted, click on Search and confirm.

- Then click on Report and send it to me.
