How to remove mcafee from system

Now the use of antivirus software has become as familiar as installing a driver on the device. No computer user who cares about protecting their digital information will not work without protection from malicious programs. Of course, there are exceptions to any rule: a computer can be used without such protection, if there is no exchange of information with the outside world.

Modern computer viruses are becoming more and more "intelligent", they use various methods of masking traces of their stay in the system, code sections of their code, even load part of themselves from the global Web. It is understandable that antivirus programs must correspond to the "trends of the times" and be able to catch malicious programs.

There are a huge number of companies involved in creating anti-virus applications. One of them is the famous American McAfee. It was founded in 1987, at one time was widely known, as the corresponding software products were installed on the Win 9x line. Lived up to 2010, releasing even complex systems of protection of the class Internet Security. In August of the tenth year, Intel was bought.

Unfortunately, often users have a question about how to remove mcafee. Problems with the removal of the product "suffers" a lot of manufacturers (the same Dr.Web). For example, a person wishing to figure out how to remove the mcafee antivirus, learns that it's enough to go to the Windows management console and select Add / Remove Programs. In the list, just type McAfee and click "Delete". This is a standard method that does not always give the desired results, because when you try to install antivirus software from other companies, you find that the removal is not complete. It is necessary to ask how to completely remove mcafee, to search the answer on the Web.

By the way, in addition to the specified "remnants", sometimes the uninstaller simply does not start or an error message is displayed. For those who are looking for a way to remove mcafee, you can recommend using a non-standard Windows removal engine, but more functional programs, such as utool (Uninstall Tool) that scan the registry for "leftovers".

So, if standard tools did not solve the problem of how to remove mcafee, then you should download special removal utility MCPR.exe from the McAfee site. Double click (click) with the left mouse button on it will launch the downloaded file. Important: in Win Vista and higher systems, you must hover the cursor on the file, press the right button and select the launch from the Administrator.

In the window that appears, click Next, then confirm with consent (Agree). Next, dial the displayed security code (security measure) and the Next button below. After the utility completes, you will need to restart the computer. A small window will be displayed with the corresponding message in English and two buttons - failure and confirmation.

Sometimes the above instructions can not figure out how to remove mcafee. The reason is different versions of the uninstalling utility. In some cases, some messages are not displayed, although launching through a double click, a minute wait while the program analyzes the system status and searches for the remainder of the McAfee records, outputting the message to the user requesting a reboot - "Reboot required ...", is performed in full Volume. In fact, even a person without experience will be able to learn how to work with the utility. The main problem is the English interface and, of course, the messages are not in Russian. But, on the other hand, everything is intuitive and does not cause complications.

After performing the uninstallation, it is useful to scan the system registry with the CCleaner program (or similar), which will fix possible errors. You will have to choose another antivirus solution and install it on your computer.
