Question

McAfee doesn't show up on my uninstall program page, but I can see that I have it installed because the icon is on my task bar. What do I do now if I want to uninstall it?

Community Answer

If you go to the directory where the program is installed, there should be something labeled, "uninstall.exe," or likewise. Running that should do the trick.

How do I get McAfee off my Samsung Galaxy S8 mobile phone?

Community Answer

Go into your apps, hold on the app and drag it to the trash can. It will un-install and be gone. You can also go to your folders and manualy delete it from there.

Question

On my MacBook I went into Finder, Applications, and McAfee (which I am trying to uninstall) is not there, yet the icon is still there in the upper-right corner of my screen and it keeps complaining! What should I do?

Community Answer

You deleted the application, but other installed files are still present. To uninstall completely, follow the instructions in this listing by entering the following commands at the command prompt: sudo /Library/McAfee/cma/scripts/uninstall.sh .

When you run the uninstaller, it should automatically close McAfee, so you can just run the uninstaller.

Check your browser extensions, McAfee WebAdvisor might still be installed.
