My Windows 2000 system hung while installing McAfee anti-virus software last week. During startup, my PC now can't get past the "Applying Security Policy" message - it's stuck at that point. I can see all my icons and my files in Safe Mode. I just can't get past the "Applying Security Policy" message. I assume my problem occurred when the McAfee anti-virus software hung during install. Any ideas?

Take out McAfee and take it back to the store for a refund then download AVG, it's 
free and will put McAfee to shame....plus it will not take over your machine...

Someone told me earlier today that McAfee and Symantec anti-virus software are incompatible on the same PC. So, I went to the registry and deleted anything to with McAfee. I managed to re-boot my PC once I did that. Thanks for the reply. Now, whenever I try to start MS Office or any MS product, including Internet Explorer, a Windows installer prompt pops up. I'm trying to figure out why that's happening now.

Hi, as I stated in my previous post McAfee do post tools on the web to enable you to remove their products. Deleting registry keys is not the way to do it as you have found! Restore your registry to the backup you created before deleting the keys, download the tools from the web site and start again...
