McAfee Error: You must restart your computer

The error occured "You must restart your computer before installing McAfee Products" while installing McAfee Softwares because of there are some traces of the Older version of McAfee products.

You can solve this problem by doing the below steps:

1: Open Registry Editor by typing "regedit" in "run" box and nevigate to

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

if there is a value available named "UninstRebootRequired" delete it.

2: Search this named file or folder "$McReboot" in these location, if its there than delete it.

"C:\Documents and Setting\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu"

"C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu"

There is no need to Reboot the computer, Simple Reinstall the McAfee Security Software application.
