My goal is to remotely remove the registry keys for McAfee. I don't
know how winreg handles an exception if a key doesn't exist, but I
setup my script to skip the exception. But it doesn't seem to work
right.. I think the script should be self explanitory, please help!
Please forgive me, but I'm a python newbie.
