I would not use the antispam feature of McAfee if it caused trouble like this. I'd uninstall McAfee completely, reinstall without the antispam or email antivirus scanning feature, then just increase the Outlook Junk E-mail filter's sensitivity. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I had my computer wiped and Windows 7 installed.
I had it done because I'm just computer literate enough to get myself in a LOT of trouble. I also installed Office Enterprise and McAfee Please contact the add-in manufacturer for an update. If no update is available, please unstall the Add-in.
I did a "repair" with the original office disk but the message still appears. After clicking OK for the 3 error messages, Outlook comes up and it runs fine. I think that I missed something in msconfig, in either the Services or Startup tabs. Maybe some file is trying to run McAfee automatic virus scan outscan but can't find the dll files because they've all been zapped.
I would really prefer not to go to the McAfee website if I can help it. I'm down to just two dll files and I'm rid of McAfee, I think. Can any of you gurus out there help me figure this out? A whole bunch of McAfee connected garbage spilled out. Took a while to sweep them up, as I had to tap F3 after each search and destroy. Toward the end of the registry, there were some files which I couldn't delete system wouldn't allow it.
Should have used a utility such as RegSeeker, but I'm not sure how to use it. Rebooted and checked msconfig, Service tab. Those McAfee files are still there, but now they're spelled differently. Wish they would go away, so I can switch back to Normal Boot. When Outlook is launched the same three error messages still come up and I have to click OK on all three of them.
I'm going to try uninstalling Outlook and reinstall to see if the errors will go away. I'm hoping you gurus out there will tell me why I can't zap those few McAfee entries at the tail end of the registry. Also, if you know how to get rid of the error messages associated with Outlook, it will be greatly appreciated.
I hope that my own nightmares will help others jettison McAfee and sleep better. Nightmare continues, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm down to 6 undeletable files, I think. They're in the windows registry. Here's who they are and where they are:. Read registry help file about "predetermined files" which can't be deleted.
But it does not apply to these keys here. I also read about getting permission to take control of keys. It doesn't say what I can do after gaining control. Lost my nerve to find out. Maybe, just maybe a Dell guru or any guru can shed some light.
By the way, Regseeker is pretty good. Launching Outlook still makes errors and those McAfee Legacy files are still there in msconfig unchecked.
I typed up an email to send to the tech guy at the local papers. Hope he answers. He's my last hope. Searched Microsoft. Voila' found an article right on point for eliminating the error messages.
In Outlook, on the Tools menu, click Options. Click Ok one more time. That's it. Outlook launches without error messages. Good-bye McAfee. Why does a customer have to jump through a thousand hoops to get rid of a crummy piece of software? There ought to be a law. Write your congressmen and women! On a whim I decided to search registry one more time from top to bottom, using Edit, Find.
It found not only McShield, but the remaining 4 items Zapped 'em all and they went away. Here is the path:. Shared Tools. Browse Community. Windows General.
