    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.

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

      I have to agree lol

    • @Mario583a
      @Mario583a 4 года назад +3

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

      Mcafee is garbage...

  • @drumpf4all
    @drumpf4all 4 года назад +85

    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.

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

      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
    @neilgb14 4 года назад +45

    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.

    Whilst my laptop was getting fixed, The team who fixed it decided to put McAfee on it. (I was going to download Avast, Way better.) It expired and not I can't delete it off... Thank you for making this!

    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) .

    • @CharlesCollins
      @CharlesCollins 4 года назад

      @@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.

    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.

      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 ....

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.
