    I tried to follow the MalwareCrush Removal Process.
    1) I did not find the MalwareCrush in Add/Remove Program.
    2) I attempted the Regedit – found C:\Programs Files\Malware Crush\Malware Crush.exe and I deleted it.
    3) Can not locate the process in task manager.
    4) Not able to find files “wupeng.exe or e404d.dll” to delete.
    5) Able to delete the Malware Crush folder.

    How do I know for sure it is gone? My problem is I am not able to go to the McAfee website. Can you help?
