Do you know of any way I can delete this program from my computer?

Question

The antivirus Mcafee Security Center....I need to get rid of it, and the only way I know for removing programs is this:

Start----Control Panel----Add or remove programs----(and then remove the program, in this case Mcafee)

But the bad news is that when I do that the removing process doesnt work, it just stays there, ecstatic, I dont know what's going on.....

if you know of any other way for removing programs let me know....

Answer 2

There is another way is by going into My Computer- then C: drive (since most programs are there) Then click on Program files. Look for McAfee directory. Highlight the directory and right click. Then select "delete". It will send the contents to your recycle bin to deal with later. See if you are still having the some programs with McAfee loading- many programs do not want to be replaced so they make it difficult to get them off & place files all over your system- making it even more of a pain (registry- hiiden folders, etc). Shareware and trailware are even worse. A quick word of advice is to contact McAfee directly & ask them. With your McAfee files still in the Recyle bin in the folder- you can restore and follow their instructions. Hope this is of help? More pressure needs to be placed on vendors to grow up and realize people do switch for very good reasons- ie.- required at work- pricing- personal prefernce.

Answer 3

Just you have to deactivate the antivirus first then remove it wait till it finishes mcafee is too slow and may take about 1 hour.

Yes make sure you have quit all programs having to do with mcaffee press ctl+alt+del and go to the processes tab and make sure to close all the ones that are connected with mcaffee. After that open my computer, your main hard drive, then program files. Find the folder called mcaffee and delete it. after that go back through add/remove programs and click remove it should say it cant find it anymore and remove it from the list.

hope that helps.
