    As far as i remember i have not got any error message i would also like to tell you that i have removed the software by simply clicking on the uninstaller that was present in the McAfee folder within the C: directory. After double clicking this file suddenly the uninstaller executed and i got the message McAfee successfully removed.

    Most probably i think that you should use the windows uninstaller utility to remove the McAfee from your system and then i would suggest you to install the virus only after removing this successfully from your system. Since if a single file will remain on your desktop then also you will get an error message.
