How to Uninstall McAfee on Windows 10 Computer

[@Britec09]

McAfee is notoriously difficult to remove from a computer, so I show you how. Smash the LIKE button.

The worse situation I ever got into with Viruses many years ago I was using McAfee back then, I will never use it but its great to see people like you showing us how to uninstall the rubbish. Thanks for the video, keep up the great work.

[@nick92065]

When you have to use a tool to uninstall something it is garbage.

[@Britec09]

I have to agree lol

[@Mario583a]

The uninstaller tool is mostly used for that special case of when another AV detects McAfee or whatever as an installed conflict.

[@flippingforreal109]

Mcafee is garbage...

[@j4rvisinr3verse42]

McAfee was really persistent on staying on my computer it's like a bladdy cockroach This vid helped thanks🔥

[@drumpf4all]

So if mcafee knows everyone uninstalls their programs, why can't they get the hint. Lol. These programs are all intrusive and should be removed immediately.

[@MemerDad]

Mcafee was originally a scam. There are so many articles and I believe there is a documentary on John Mcafee's whole life.

[@squarecutatul6834]

You said it. I have tried to remove it multiple times from my Asus laptop but it refuses to get uninstalled. That way it is more like a pesky virus than an anti virus.

[@neilgb14]

I have always been suspicious about computer viruses. The easiest way to sell antivirus software is to script and spread viruses from the antivirus developers themselves. Job done, revenue received.

[@Britec09]

interesting thought

[@22stunt45]

Neil GB = conspiracy theorist confirmed

[@oldrockgeeser9426]

The more we protect ourselves the more we need protection, that's what I call a good marketing scheme.

[@MrCelestial]

Thank you so much for helping me get rid of this thing off my computer. It keeps shoving randomly timed pop-up ads asking me to renew the subscription.

[@ojchan4793]

Thank you sir for the no nonsense effective instruction. What a persistent bugger that MacAfee. Ugh!

[@neosunrider]

But what happens to the program you download to remove it? Is that easy to get rid of if possible?

[@bhringer]

Easy to follow walk through, but I'm wondering why you didn't mentioned that Microsoft Defender should automatically be enabled after McAfee has been removed (though not always - that could be another video in itself) .

[@manajorymanajory7751]

THANK YOU!! It's gone forever! Fast & easy solution to my 2 year old headache!

[@alwaysc9727]

Thank you for providing the MCPR download link as the McAfee support website sometimes stays forever loading, so they can keep their program stuck on your computer of course!

[@Britec09]

Glad I could help. Don't forget it the subscribe button

[@sdflores7572]

This video helped me so much I finally got that annoying program out of my computer that obligated me for years to buy their subscription and kept on juicing my account. Now I can choose my own antivirus of choice. Thank You!

[@Denstoradiskmaskinen]

Love a new computer, hate that i have to learn how to uninstall pre-installed software from it.. i do enjoy this video! Thanks

[@keidyrosales4715]

Omg how annoying was trying to remove it,, but thanks God i found you. Thank you for your help 👍😁

[@CharlesCollins]

Thanks, Brian. Can you do a similar one for Zone Alarm as I had a job and a half get it off my laptop?

[@Britec09]

Great suggestion!

[@CharlesCollins]

@@Britec09 I used the free firewall and antivirus which I think is pretty good, but the PC was lagging and I thought I would uninstall ZoneAlarm to see if that was the culprit. I even used their own tool to do so and Revo Uninstaller. Still didn't remove it all and it did something to the network adapter so I couldn't get online. Tried all sorts of things to get that working again without success and so I did a fresh install of Windows.

[@timofeika0]

finally! i've been searching for 3 hours.

[@ridwanhakimali4815]

Nice Tutorial, Simple and easy, and doesn't take much time 👍

Helpful video as normal. Great quick video

[@Britec09]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Mario583a]

Title: Me: Tell OEMs to stop preinstalling them.

[@Sid-Cannon]

If I got a laptop with this pre-installed, I'd make sure Windows was activated and then just do a clean install of Windows ... I don't trust companies like this one bit ...

[@haydenchristensen9278]

I actually did that, it asked me if I wanted to install mcafee products, i said no, and they went and installed all of them anyway:)

[@rdyer8764]

It's also a DEFAULT install when updating Adobe Flash Player. I hate that! I wish it came up 'unchecked' so that an errant mouse click on CONTINUE didn't accidentally install it. I have to uncheck that box every time I update the Flash Player on my browser.

[@shakenbasher2751]

Thank God above for this video. The stupid program took up 100% of my disk space as soon as i opened my conputer

[@chrisa6279]

Thanks for that Brian, I am a little bit of a novice so excuse me if this is a stupid question. When I remove Mcafee, do I have to do something to load Microsoft Defended or will it automatically come on ? I believe J Mcafee has been removed from the planet now,

[@mcan-piano4718]

Do you recommend first uninstalling with control panel and then try this one? Will it cause issues? or do u recommend directly using this one ?

[@Pegasus-ik1pr]

Should we unistall the MCPR tool when it done ?

[@Lisa-sd5he]

Thanks for your help!!! I’m curious what antivirus software you would recommend?

[@okenterprises1112]

Thank you the first method worked for me. Actually it came with adobe reader and I had no idea what to do.

[@marconyewtv4477]

Hello Brian! I have uninstalled all 3rd party AVs. I hardened Windows Defender via group policy! I love it thanks!

[@Britec09]

Yeah I have that as well.

[@longjohn526]

That's the best way IMO .... I haven't had a successful virus/trojan on my systems since the 90's ..... A lot of it is just plain old common sense ... don't click on strange links, don't frequent shady websites, don't use torrents or pirated software .... That will fix 99% of your infection problems right there ....

[@notnecessary7730]

It's pretty screwed up that you have to go download software from the company that made the software you are trying to get out of your computer in order to remove their software from your computer!!! The Irony of that is just deafening!!!!!

[@the46guide94]

Same goes for Adobe flash player shit fucks up your computer makes your computer use 100% disk at all times! I just followed instruction and ran the flash player uninstaller and now it’s back to normal

[@josephkeres4604]

Thank you for this! My new computer has now been rid of McAffee!

What antivirus software would you recommend???

[@k5v1nv]

Brian I would not ever touch McrApee software again, after been burned with their malware years ago. Thanks for showing how to delete their software after a bad decision to install it in the first place. LOL.

If I removed McAfee via my Control Panel uninstall tool and no longer see it on my computer, should I do anything to try to remove any remnants that might be on my computer still?

[@breakingthe4thwall260]

McAfee didn't use to be a pain to remove like that. now that it is i would say that's a good reason not to use it. It left some process'es on my nephews lap top and it won't let you kill the process or delete the associated files. keeps saying need admin permission even though he is on the admin account. interesting none of the McAfee process'es show up in autoruns or process explorer as malicious. I tried to tell him not to ever install McAfee but he didn't listen.

If you think McAfee is a fat deep install, try uninstalling Norton. I'm looking to do that now and their tool doesn't delete all of their hooks.
