Hi anyone able to help me with this?
My pc has gone tits up and it seems my mcafee privacy service is the cause of it.
I need to remove it but there are fragments of it remaining which are causing conflict on my pc.
When I go to 'remove programs' its not showing there but when I log in I get the same message saying 'some components of your privacy service are missing etc etc'.
I've spoken to mcafee who sent me a link to download a removal tool for this but I cant open the page so am stuck in limbo.
Its causing no end of problems as I cant view a lot of websites, cant access outlook and cant download the latest version of itunes which means I cant transfer tunes to my ipod.
Thanks for reading.

What about system restore ?..maybe restore back to when you computer was okay

Or register for an hotmail account, and ask them to send it there.

hmm, post the link here and ill post back a direct link to the file for you.

or try re-installing and then un-installing via the disk.

nvm ive found the removal tool

click here for the file, its on my server so you should be able to directly download it

That's OK if there's something to remove Aradon.. If it's already done a partial erase, then either a system restore as Jegga said, or a simple delve in to the C: drive to remove the folder.

Wow thanks all for the speedy replies. I've done a system restore but that hasn't helped. I will use that link Aradon and get back to you and let you know how it goes.
Thanks again all

Unfortunately system restore only seems to do drivers I believe rather than program files, so it was only a wild shot chance.

I think I've sorted the privacy service now but...I'm still getting a box which says 'some componets of Active Shield are missing, please reinstall'.
I'm not even sure what active shield is? It wont allow me to reinstall spamkiller either so dunno if this is the same thing....?
aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgh

WAYHAY, you're on a promise
