Truth is i hardly use my laptop (AcerAspireE1-532P-2883) now about 1 year old,
Looking at my msconfig file, under services I see McAfee Firewall Core Service" and
"McAfee Validation Trust Protection Service". Since I never installed anything McAfee one can safely say it came installed with the computer. However a search for McAfee on my computer shows no results and if I look at my Installed Programs, there too there is no entry for McAfee.
So what gives? Can anyone shed light on this please? Tell me what they are, what they are doing there and if \i could get rid of them, uninstall them and replace them with something else. Thank you
