I tried to install Mcaffe Security on my computer (Vista Beta2 Build 5384) and was told it failed, did I want to run it with better settings, so I clicked yes, it then installed but gave an error saying it wasn't compatable with the version of windows I have, so I tried to uninstall but it says the program is not compatable, so I cant remove it and I cant install any more anti virus software until Mcaffe is gone!
I've tried deleting all the program files for it and removed it from the start up but I still cant get shot of it
What can I do now?

Mcaffe Problems
Since I got no response to an earlier post on a similar problem, you will probably have to manually remove it or may be able to do it partially manually and use one of the registry cleaners to remove the registry entries after manually removing the program from 'Programs'. Good luck.

You'll have to do a registry search for anything McAfee or Network Associates or NAI and delete. Try asking for help at http://forums.mcafeehelp.com/
