DjM, I have mentioned this already. The only OS possible is windows, and which version of windows does not matter. Version of McAfee doesn't matter either as this is a windows specific problem (involving services). Let's wait and see if the above solutions help him.
You might want to check the Mcafee site like I did.
Uninstall: VirusScan 7 (Windows 2000 only)
Uninstall: VirusScan 7 (Windows XP)
Uninstall: VirusScan 7 (98/ME only)
Uninstall: VirusScan PDA
Uninstalling VirusScan from Windows 98 Plus!
Now maybe it's just me, but I'd prefer to follow the instructions from the vendor.

Cheers:
