| Keywords: annoying mcafee stinger mcafeestinger project 365 project365 scamware I was really narked before because despite running a current and well regarded anti virus product, I managed to pick up a lovely lump of scamware. I was narked because the last time I had to remove one of these (on someone else's computer) it took me the best part of a day. Fortunately this one seems pretty primitive and just deleting a couple of folders and resetting the odd registry key seems to have sorted it. Just to be on the safe side I've run a scan with McAfee's stinger program to check for any nasties, as my own AV software looks to have let me down. Still, try as you might you can't stop 'em all.
