T-Bird 2.06 WON'T START

So the other day, T-bird could not log on to my comcast mail server to
retrieve E-Mail. This is before I heard of the McAffee issue. I tried to fix
the problem changing the "current user" this screwed everything up and I got
the error message"T-Bird needs to close". I have since uninstalled and
reinstalled T-Bird, but it wil not open, even in safe mode. I get the same
error message. I don't know if this is due to Mcaffee or the change I made.
Any help on how to fix would be appreciated.
Also I can't find a way to close McAffee security Center, to see if it is
interfering with T-Bird startup. How do you close this damm program?
Thanks

(If its not a Mcafee issue)
Backup TB profile folder.
Close TB if its running.
Open Task manager , select Process tab and make it sure that no
thunderbird.exe process is running.
Uninstall Thunderbird.
Remove Thunderbird program folder.
Download latest version of Thunderbird and install it.
In profile folder , delete all .msf files.
Now try to start Thunderbird.
