I was installing the McAfee 2009 suite when a message came up that "MailFrontier Desktop" was interfering with the installation of McAfee. I looked in all of my Programs, Add and Remove Programs, Search for Files and Folders, and there was no MailFrontier Desktop. So I called McAfee tech support. The technician went to my registry, deleted a key, and the McAfee installation then worked. When I asked him how he knew what key to remove, he (crypticly) said "I looked it up." I would like to know where he looked it up, what key he removed, and how he knew it pertained to MailFrontier Desktop. I can't call McAfee again, since they only supply tech support during new installations, and I would doubt very much if I can get the help I need there. Can anyone help me here? Martin.
