HI guys, i've got weird problem on my PC. I had Mcafee Security centre. But i was slowing down my PC. So I unistalled mcafee and installed Avast!. But i didn't like it; I decided to install Mcafee again. I uninstalled avast. When i tried to reinstall again it just stops at the beginning of the installation. and never goes on. I'm attaching the image of the installation. It necver goes beyond that screen. Pls. help.

i have not seen yr images. so speaking generally.
uninstall avast in safe mode if u have a problem / use McAfee Uninstall Tool to uninstall McAfee completely. get it from mcafee site. after both have been uninstlld, use reg cleaner like ccleaner. then try to instl what u want to install.

as anand said, it most likely looks like a bad uninstall of either of the two AVs. download the mcafee uninstaller and then try again. also goto the registry editor and delete any reference to mcafee and/or avast before installing again.
oftopic: just 1 dialog box in the bmp file.... takes up 1.4mb and when compressed in .zip format becomes 9.2kb!!
edit: oh saw ur edited post now. so i think something is remanant from the prev. install. u need to hunt it down. i'd seriously suggest kaspersky or nod32 (both paid) or even AVG (its free). all are much much much better than mcafee!

i had also suffered with similar problem solved it by running registry cleaner
Use Ccleaner for this purpose also even after Mcafee UnInstalls Some file
of it runs in background so fire up Task manager nd Disable some process
like Msshild (some thing like this ) and then delete its folder from Program
files then try to install
Off topic :i will suggest u to through such a crap anti virus nd try Kaspersky
