Uninstalling and/or removing doesn't work. It always finds an error and goes back again.

you have to disable first your anti-virus before removing or uninstalling the programs.

It is probably running and you need to stop it first. Go to your task manager and find out all running processes and what they do by typing each one is a search engine. Then end the process or processes that are Mcaffee and do the uninstall.

go to the mcaffee website and search for a removal tool norton has one so mcaffee should have one when installing antivirus they dont all go in one place so after uninstall there is always a bit left your new disc picks this up and stops installing hope this helps

answers 6 and 8 are on the right track. However you may have to re-install it first (if you have it partially uninstalled) so that you do not end up with useless files or a faulty registry.

Go to My Computer on the start menu,, click C: drive to open ,, go to program files and look for Mcaffee and delete the folder from your program files.. this should take all traces out of your computer..close everything and reboot your PC..

GO TO YOUR CONTROL PANEL, CLICK ON ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS, THEN CLICK ON MCAFEE AND CLICK REMOVE. IT WILL REMOVE THE WHOLE PROGRAM FOR YOU, YOU CAN DELETE YOUR SHORTCUTS WITHOUT IT AFFECTING THINGS, IT MAY LEAVE SOME COMPONENTS SO OTHER PROGRAMS CAN RUN WITH IT.. SIMPLE AS THAT.. THEN DO A SEARCH AND MAKE SURE ALL IS GONE.. IF NOT, YOU CAN MANUALLY DELETE THEM ONLY AFTER YOU REMOVE OR UNINSTALL THE MCAFEE.. GOOD LUCK

Disable onaccess scan before uninstalling.
Now uninstall from Cpanel.

If all else fail, try uninstalling the OS completely and reinstall it.
