I am facing a very strange problem. I have McAfee Enterprise Edition Trial Version installed in my pc. I want to remove because I want to install Kaspersky Antivirus 6.0 but when I go in Control Panel--->Add and Remove Programs, then I can't see it in the list of programs. Even I am unable to see Microsoft Office 2003 Professional Edition there. I have Office 2003 installed on my pc and it is working well but I can't see it there in the list of programs.
These are the programs in the list of Add/Remove Programs:
Adobe Flash Player ActiveX
Adobe Photoshop 7.0
Adobe Reader 6.0
AnswerWorks Runtime
I don't know what is this AnswerWorks Runtime. Is it something like malware ?
I can't remove McAfee and when I use McAfee Removal Tool and run it it shows me to remove the components from Control Panel first, but I can't see any component of McAfee in Control Panel.
When I used ComboFix and SDFix, I found the messages....Access is denied. But for SDFix it generated the report.
I am sending HijackThis log and HijcakThis log:

Is there a scrollbar in Add / Remove Programs? There's a known issue with AutoCad causing a lot of white space in your list.
