McAfee removal?

17 years ago

I am about ready to uninstall the preinstalled McAfee from my husbands new Dell/Vista machine and have NOT registered it yet.

I found this warning on the McAfee removal tool site:



IMPORTANT: If your McAfee products were preinstalled by the manufacturer of your computer, please make sure to activate your McAfee subscription before uninstalling. Reinstalling from a CD or download will only install your McAfee consumer applications, but may not recover your paid subscription term information.


Am I correct in assuming that this warning only pertains if I plan on reinstalling McAfee?

I am going to install Avast.

I have read Raven's thread with the instructions for removing McAfee and have all the instructions printed out.

Avast and McAfee removal tool already on the desktop.

The only reference to McAfee in the startup is "McAfee Security Center"

TIA,

Jean
