Hi,
I want to know even if deleting Trend micro from my PC when i was trying to install McAfee it asked me to uninstall Trend Micro first.
Now i don't have any idea how to remove a program which is not there on my computer for last 3 months.
Can you guys help me what to do for removal of Trend Micro so that i can install McAfee?
Well have you tried uninstalling Trend Micro from control panel Add remove utility?
If you have just deleted the Trend micro folder from program files its still there in your registry.
I suggest you to use some good registry cleaner software to remove this or what you can do is just download cleanup utility from microsoft.

Install it search for the program & remove it from there.
I have deleted all the files but it is still on the control panel i chave tried the pcctool.exe and gone through the registry searching for their BS. the disk is unable to remove trend micro when i try to reinstall
It's likely there are still some Trend Micro files or perhaps services running.
