Uninstalling AOL and McAfee Security Centre



Hello,

I recently got Dell computer with Window XP sp2. It came with AOL and McAfee
Security Centre (limited time) preinstalled. I have my own security
softwares such as spyware blaster, spybot search and destroy, Adaware and
Microsoft Antispyware etc. I also subscribe to EZArmor. I want to install
EZArmor and I have uninstall the McAfee. There is no entry in the Add/Remove
program for the Security Center. The only entry I see in the Add/Remove is
"McAfee Uninstaller". Also it seems the McAfee Security Centre is integrated
with Windows Security. When I click on security center in Contro Panel, it
shows McAfee antivirus and firewall etc.

Just wondering if this the normal entry for McAfee Centre in the Add/Remove?
I searched McAfee helpdesk but could not find anything about "McAfee
Uninstaller" in Add/Remove.

Called the Dell technical help and he did not know how to do it but
suggested horrible way to uninstall the program. He suggested just delete
the McAfee folder from your computer. Amazing!

Sorry of the long post. Also will appreciate some suggestions about
unistalling AOL. Heard some scary stories about it. What cautions should I
take?
Thanks for your help.
Mian
