How do I disable or uninstall undesired McAfee Personal firewall in Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.?
Windows Security center says that Mcafee Personal Firewall is turned on. My regular windows fire wall is turned off as well. There is no icon in the uninstall programs list for mcafee fire wall. There is no program files folder for mcafee. I searched the drive for mcafee and a small folder with program logs did come up. I have deleted all registry entries pertaining to mcafee (exept 3 entries that keep coming back.) I would like to have no firewall what so ever.
Please help me.
ps. I do know the risks of not using a firewall.

McAfee, it is not compatible with Vista. The best thing to do is completely remove it. Start, Control Panel, Programs and Features, Highlight McAfee Security Center, Uninstall, Check every box, Remove, Remove. Restart. The antiviruses that are compatible with Vista are Trend Micro, Computer Associates, AVG, and LiveOneCare. You can do a google search for any of these and get a free trial.
Since you have already started removing it restore back to prior to doing this and uninstall appropriately or you are going to get entries coming back and not be able to get rid of it all.

i have downgraded my windows vista to xp but my audio or networking drivers won’t work so could anybody tell me whats up.
Go to either your computer manufacturer’s website or your hardware manufacturer’s website to find the latest XP drivers for your audio and network. In most cases, they will both be integrated on the motherboard (unless you have a dedicated expansion card) so it should be pretty easy to find. If you have trouble finding them, shoot me a message with your make and model of computer and I’ll track them down for you, though it may take a while (busy day).
Edit: NEVER pay for drivers. They can ALWAYS be found at the manufacturer’s website and 100% free. If you see a site that wants you to pay for drivers, they are trying to rip you off. Also, never pay for a ‘driver update’ program. They are also rip-offs. In fact, just never use a driver update program. Call or e-mail your hardware manufacturer’s support department if you have any issues that you can’t find a resolution to. In fact, you should NEVER get drivers for your hardware from anywhere but the manufacturer’s website, unless said manufacturer has gone out of business.

Computer with vista system works well when it is new and shiny. It has an amazing interface that attracts you a lot. However, as time moves on, you find an annoyed fact that it starts to get sluggish like a slow turtle. This happens when you undoubtedly load numerous applications on the original operating system, like antispyware tools, antivirus protection, and many other software applications. Not to mention all the junk you download off the internet.
Fortunately there are still some things you can do to optimize Windows Vista and make its performance better. Just read the following tips carefully.
Optimize Windows vista by cleaning up registry
1. What is Windows vista registry?
The registry stores all information about the software, hardware and preferences of the user along with all the settings details. A registry key in Vista operating system is created or modified or deleted whenever new software program has been installed or uninstalled and even when software programs are used.
Any error that occurs during installing or uninstalling of software in Windows Vista is also stored along with the error application in the registry. This causes the registry to be crammed with corrupted programs and invalid entries, and considerably slows down the Windows Vista system.
2. How to clean up registry?
Windows Vista Registry Cleaner is one of system utility software to maintain the operating system in good shape. It is often used to scan and fix errors in registry as well as to optimize Windows vista performance.It basically removes the invalid entries from the computer. You can also clean up registry manually,which is highly risky. If you delete any useful key, your computer will be impacted strongly, or will collapse.Hence a good Registry Cleaner that would scan the system for any dubious entry that may harm to your system is your better choice.It would also make sure that the suspicious entry does not affect any software that has already been installed and ones that are in use.
If any problems are detected by the Windows Vista Registry Cleaner after it analyzes the vista system, you can view each of these issues and ask for a detailed explanation of that particular problem. On the other hand, you can choose to a correct all errors by a simple click on the fix button. Good Windows vista registry cleaner has a back up function and will automatically take a back up of all registry keys that you require to delete.
Optimize Windows vista by removing data you do not need
Are there some software applications that seemed so cool two months ago and that you rushed to download and install it on your computer, but you haven’t used once since? If you do not use them often,it is time to remove them from your system. You should also remove the trial editions and limited edition version of programs pre-installed on Vista.These apps needlessly take up space on your hard drive; on top of that they automatically run at startup and run in the background using much needed resources.
You can also remove unnecessary files stored on your hard drive. In this regard you could remove this data by yourself, or a tool built on Vista: Disk Cleanup.
Optimize Windows vista by keeping your computer protected
If your computer is acting sluggish in a sudden, this could be a signal that it is infected with a computer virus, spyware and even rogue antispyware programs.Virus usually impacts the speed of computer. Scan your PC fully by professional antivirus software like AVG, McAfee. Do not use two antivirus at one time for they will make conflict and then you computer may collapse.
Optimize Windows vista by stopping unnecessary programs load at startup
Many applications will be added to your vista system startup group by themselves during the installation. Each time you hit the power button, they will run automatically as well as the computer has to load the Windows Vista operating system, which not only extends the start-up time, but also takes up a lot of system resources.So make sure the applications you rarely use not be automatically loaded at startup. You can see what software programs automatically load at startup by using Windows Defender or by some system utility software with start-up manager.
Optimize Windows vista by running limited programs at one time
Some people seem to not realize that launching a whole bunch of applications and then running will strongly impact your computer’s performance.I’m sure you needn’t to run a dozen applications at the same time if you just chat with your friends on MSN or other instant messaging, watch movies or listen to music. Just close some of these apps when you finish using them and you will see your computer not bog down.
