Removing Mcafee

[Spittyman]

Hey does anyone know how to remove Mcafee from your Q. I know it shouldn't make difference but for some reason the battery life has gone down significantly ever since I installed it. TIA

welcome aboard...

is it listed in the Remove Programs ? (on the Q1: Start Menu > Settings > Remove Programs)

[Spittyman]

Wow thanks I didnt realize how easy that was. I just got the phone a few days ago and asked a friend who has had the Q9m for about a month to try to get rid of it and he couldn't either. Thanks again!

To be honest im not exactly sure how much space it took up but I store most of my stuff on my 1 Gb memory card so space isn't too much of a problem. The main reason I took it off was because it was constantly running even when I tried closing it in task manager which was draining battery and lagging it up a bit.

Good to know, I had not noticed it running, but then again I wasn't looking for it.

I don't think people really run an antivirus on their smartphones/PDA. I haven't and I've had my Q since Nov last year.
