How to Remove McAfee Virus Protection Software
- 1). Download the McAfee Consumer Products Removal tool from the link in Resources. When you click the link, a window will pop up asking what you want to do with the file. Select the option to save the file to your desktop.
- 2). Launch "MCPR.exe" from your desktop. If a security warning window appears, click "Run." The program stops all running McAfee programs and services, and begins uninstalling them from the computer. During this time, you may see the McAfee icon disappear from your system tray if the program is currently running.
- 3). Click "Yes" when prompted to reboot your computer.
- 4). Press the Windows logo and "R" keys simultaneously after the computer restarts, then type "appwiz.cpl" without quotation marks in the window that appears. Windows displays a list of all installed programs. Use the list to confirm that no McAfee product is displayed.
