How to remove Virex 7.7?

I deleted the file from the Aplication folder, but serveral processes are still running. What else do I need to delete to remove it from my Mac?

According the documentation, there should be an uninstall script included with the software. After reading through, this program looks like a beast to get rid of... processes everywhere, just like their Windows clients. Ugh.. so nasty. 🙁

I was able to kill the beast. I will never use another Mcafee product on a personal machine ever again. I still have it on machines at work however.

I wouldn't worry too much about Anti-Virus software for mac, i've been using Mac's for a few years now without a spot of protection and i've yet to have, nor even really hear of any issues.

Yea.. if Macs really pick up, I still think it could become an issue. But if it does, the Mac dev community will provide something much better than what Mcafee will give. They are a joke IMO.
