Remove a new machine of McAfee

While waiting for my new Dell Inspiron 7000, which, unfortunately, comes with McAfee AV.  Been a loyal user of Norton for many years, so the first thing to do is uninstall McAtee and install Norton.

Are there "traps" on the uninstall of McAfee, because it is built into the embedded system? Or is it just 'control panel/programs/uninstall' or whatever the equivalent of Win7 in WIn8.1?

Thank you.

BTW, I asked this question of the Dell chat while I configure my system for purchase and they offered a link to a McAffee site that was supposed to explain the deletion, but the link was dead.

Hi alocksley:

When I finally found myself in a similar situation, I made sure that I didn't activate or register the McAfee that came pre-installed on my system.
-J' downloaded my favorite AV on my desk.
-J' uninstalled McAfee via Control Panel.
-J' have downloaded and run the uninstall tool from McAfee (Development) from their Web site, according to his instructions:
service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx; LC = 1033 & pf = 1
This tool cleans up the remains. I note that the instructions say now you expected to activate your McAfee subscription before uninstalling, if they came pre-installed. I would follow these last instructions, as it has been a few years that I have addressed this issue.
-J' installed my favorite AV.

Good luck!

    • I removed my Vista on my computer because of the lack of Vista operating system file cache, I understand that there is now a patch to make it work properly. I want to install on my new machine, my local shop said I you will encounter a problem with the registration because it's another machine. Please can you guide me. Thank you.

    If Windows Vista was preinstalled on your old machine, it is attached to this computer, and you cannot install it on the new machine.

    If you bought Windows Vista software in a store, you can remove from the old machine and install it on the new.  There could be a problem with the activation (which is different then registration).  After installation, start the product activation.  If it will not activate online, use the phone activation option and explain the situation to the person who answers.

  • Reader Adobe really slow on the new machine Core-i7

    Opening a PDF file is very very slow on my new Windows 7 64-bit machine. The machine is a new Core i7 system with 16 GB of memory

    PDF which opens on the other more old pc less than a second take 20 to 30 seconds on this new machine.

    The machine has a Radeon R260 graphics card that has been used in the previous machine without any problem. Just to be sure I removed the card and used the embedded graphics to try to eliminate the map but the problem is exactly the same thing must therefore be associated windows.

    Reader has been uninstalled and reinstalled with no joy.

    The rendering of the image is a problem that when zooming or panning of the image again redraw very slowly (20-30 seconds) each time.

    PC is also very fast.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    VS

    Noted that, after that any restart of the first minute or two performance was normal and then suddenly deteriorated on intel integrated and the card Radeon 4000 graphics.

    Done a scan with malwarebytes, which has several problems that have been cleared by Malwarebytes and bingo all good now if this question was entirely due to malware on the computer and nothing else.

    I hope this helps someone!

  • 'No operating system found' when you create the new machine virtual de DVD

    Hi, I had problems with the creation of a new machine virtual (Server 2008 R2).  After the initial creation, I turn on - then starts immediately to the network.  I tried to change the boot order in the BIOS and even removed the NIC via Virtual Machine properties.  I built VMs repeatedly using this method.  I use an ISO DVD that I know, I created works.  I select "connect to E:\. "that is my DVD drive on my laptop and have restarted (loses connection every time the DVD player).  I even changed the type of E1000 VMXNET3 network adapter - makes no difference.

    I feel good and truiy perplexed!

    Any ideas?

    You can connect the ISO remote only when the virtual machine is running.

    I suggest you set a delay (or get into the BIOS), in the property of the VM, press ESC during POST to enter the Boot Menu, select CD but wait to confirm.

    Connect the ISO and now start to begin.

  • How to remove apple news topics?

    I like the new product new Apple iOS.  However, it seems difficult to manage themes.  I used to read the headlines and other news using other applications.  My children have iPads that are related to my account and managed by me.  I would use the product of news with them, but I can't understand how to limit news to a few topics that interest them (science, history, etc.). They don't bother Sports, finance, fashion or news of last hour (nor do I want them to see a big part of it).  There seems to be no way to remove the new trends, news or other ordinary stuff.  I can't find references on how to do it either.

    Thanks in advance

  • Migration of models for the new Machine...

    Hello dear colleagues,

    Copy the (user) > movies > folder models of animation as a whole on the new computer.

    This only works with free templates and those that you made yourself.

    Third party models with their own Installer are not in these files, and you will need to re-run the installation program.

    New machine to purchased may not authorize in iTunes as already have listed 5.  Could not be allowed out until October.  Impossible to schedule a call with the Apple support as currently in the United States with a number of UK cells that is not valid when I get home from the United States support site (Please enter a valid number).

    What should I do, wait until the return to the United Kingdom?  Went to the Apple store and they told him that they couldn't do anything for me, had to go via the web.

    You don't have none of the other five computers that you could deauthorise so that you can allow your new computer yet? And you don't have access to a fixed line to the United States?

  • HP Pav 23-q105na AiO: perform a clean install on new machine

    Hello

    I would like to do a clean install on a new machine of all-in-one HP I have and would like to know about activation of a couple things.

    The machine comes through OEM Activation 3.0 (OA3) or by Product Activation Windows (WPA). The reason why I would like to know this, is that once the own installation took place, automatically Windows know that the machine has a license valid Windows 10 and will be so it turned on once he gets online?

    Please note that when I got the machine, I let it install the version of Windows 10 comes with the machine, and made sure it has been activated. (recorded with the MS servers)

    I will also be wiping the part of the resumption of training as well during this process.

    Kind regards

    Richard

    Hi TheOldMan,

    I have now completed the clean install on the machine and it activated fine. I had media via Windows Media creation tool.

    He activated properly, so now just re - installs all the necessary drivers / programs again. I have another machine I boaught at the same time, so now do the same for this one. I used ShowKeyPlus to check and verify my key before starting.

    Thanks for the reply but.
