How to uninstall McAffe Total Protection 2013 (if it can be done via the control panel)?
Hello
I hope someone can help me to uninstall McAffe Total Protection 2013 (central security part)? I tried to do it via the control panel (uninstall program) but I receive the following message: "Please wait until the current program is finished uninstalling or that" and it can not be uninstalled (I already rebooted my computer three times). I also tried to delete in the program (in the C drive) files, but I get the message: "you need give the administrator permission to delete this program" even if it's my laptop and I'm the only user on this computer (what is the administrator then...?)
I've already lost two hours trying to get rid of it and I'm now extremely frustrated...
I really hope someone can help me. (I have Windows 7)
Thank you very much
Anna
Hello
Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
You try this first method:
(1) open the Windows Task Manager (right click on the taskbar-> click Start the Task Manager).
2) click on show processes from all users. Then go to the process tab-> search "msiexec.exe".
(3) if it is recognized, click on finish the process-> and yet, click on end process.
(4) now, start the uninstall program.
If the above method fails, try this:
Right-click, and then click Save as:
http://download.McAfee.com/Products/Licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe
Then, run the file. It will clean all facilities of McAfee in a PC.

How to uninstall a program when it is not accessible via the control panel?
I have a program installed in the PC Windows 8 OS (c :)) Program Files (x 86).) When I go to uninstall this program, it is not accessible by using the uninstaller in the Control Panel feature. My Control Panel only accesses certain programs to uninstall. I also have

need to know how to fix the windows\system32\rundll32.exe to be able to go to add remove programs and other options in the Panel
From the other thread:
old question, new question so what I do or how to set or return rundll.exe in my computer?
old question question/new - matter always request how to fix or recover from the windows/system32/rnudll.exe in computer science. I see no other answer to this anywhere
Hi DadVQ,
· Did you do changes on the computer before the show?
This problem occurs because of a missing or corrupted Rundll32.exe file. This problem can also be caused by a virus.
Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:
Method 1: Follow the steps mentioned in the article below and check if the problem still persists.
Cannot find the Rundll32.exe file when you open Control Panel
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/812340
Method 2: If the problem persists, I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
Important: While hard disk analysis if bad sectors are found when scanning try to repair this area, all available on which data can be lost.
Let us know if that helps.

Ideas:
- You have problems with programs
- Error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
Hello dutchb,
The error, "another installation is in progress and must be completed first" can be attributed to the InProgress key found in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgressChange the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.
I suggest that first make a backup of the registry or a system restore point. Then go to control panel, administrative tools, Services. Do scroll down and find the Windows Installer service, and set the start at the stop State. Delete the registry key to the location above.
Now, you shouldn't get the installation in the progress message when you try to uninstall programs.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Marilyn

Hello
If it has been installed as a Firefox extension you can try to Remove in Firefox Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons - > Extensions.
On the other hand, if it was installed as a Windows application or Internet Explorer application, you may need to uninstall via the control panel of the Windows operating system, or the affected browsers. Windows support would be useful.
