Hi all

We recently purchased a Dell laptop for corporate use.
It is supplied with McAfee Security Centre, Anti-Virus, Firewall etc
pre-installed and operating but time limited.
This time has just expired.
We have corporate licenses for McAfee anti-virus and Spyware blocker.

Questions

First thought was to remove free install stuff and load corporate version.
Couldn't find uninstall utility. Went to add-remove progs, the only McAfee
software visible was Mcafee uninstaller!
So, how do I remove this version and install corporate?..................
OR
Can I somehow re-direct the software to pick up updates from corporate
location?
OR
Can I install corporate version OVER pre-installed (don't favour this much
as pre-installed has more facilities than corporate)


Thanks in anticipation

Phil

Would suggest asking on their forum for assistance as mcafee are
notorious for leaving stuff behind if not cleaned correctly
