Uninstalling Mcafee virus scan from Lion

Please don't install anything Norton, particularly anti virus software. It will trash your hard drive. Need information about anti-virus software on a Mac see here:

I have exactly the same problem. Norton could not help me either. We tried a few unintsallers but the problem still persists.

You need to get the Norton uninstaller at the Norton web site.

Removing all traces of anti-virus software is often difficult. In your case, you need to go to the McAfee site, not the Norton site, to search for a manual uninstall process.

Try: https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB54975

However, I agree with others in not recommending Norton as a replacement. If you feel that you need an anti-virus software to detect you from no known Mac viruses in the wild, try ClamXav. At least it's free.

I ran the script in terminal window and get the message that no such file exists

I have requested and got a refund form Symantec for the Norton Anti Virus software. The ironical thing is that I am running Norton Internet Security that I purchased and installed some time ago before the upgrade to Lion

Thanks for the support

My response was to the original poster, ajham37. He is trying to uninstall McAfee, not Norton.

If you read the original post carefully, you will see that you don't have exactly the same problem.

I had McAfee on it previously, however I have run the Unistaller provided by Mcaffee. I thought this had removed the program, however there are still clearly remnants of it somewhere on the drive.
