On one and one only machine in our mcafee antispam is arbitrarily intercepting messages and requiring the user to approve the messages. This usually occurs with group messages which is doubly aggravating because the groups have been in use for years.
I used regedit and went thru every folder I can think of looking for mcafee but could find nothing.Neither our former nor our current ISPs have ever used or recommended using mcafee.
What are our options, short of reformatting the lone ranger?

After searching for close to a half hour, I found McAfee has a software removal tool. Hopefully that's all that's necessary but in the name of the Houses of the Holy does McAfee so thoroughly bury and hide its software? I looked everywhere on the main drive and there was nothing that even hinted it was McAfee. And their tech support site is horrible!
