    McAfee delete issue

    Hi Guys, Hope you can give me a litle advice on this problem. I have tried numerous times to get rid of McAfee antivirus to no avail. Is there any way I can delete it though the Registry. I am using Windows 10 at the moment. No problem if I cannnot do it that way. I guess I can always reinstall the whole system.

    Thank uou for any help.

    You don’t mention what you have already tried so we can only guess;

      Try the tool above. If you do re-install the OS, don’t get it from the OEM or you’ll have Mcafee back on your PC.

      Get it from here: Download Windows 10

      “Create Windows 10 media installation from here”

        Try GeekUninstaller force mode if needed.



        Download the everything search engine.
        Type [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Mcafee into the search window of the program.
        Click Edit Select all.
        Right Click highlighted items.
        Copy Full name to clipbaord.
        Post here.

        Or boot to safe mode.
        Run everything program per instructions above.
        Delete all Mcafee items.
        While in safe mode the drivers and .exe will not be loaded and will delete, much easier.[/COLOR]

          Thank you all so much for your advice. I did try uninstalling it through Windows., to no avail. I shall give the Geek Uninstaller a try and let you know if I succeed.

          All the very best

            The above is the correct and first method to be used, is that what you mean by trying to uninstall it through Windows.
