The difficulty to uninstall mcafee...

Evening,

First time I did this... I'm trying to uninstall Mcafee so that I can have Windows defender. I read the markets here, which are excellent... But whenever I try to uninstall Mcafee, it won't let me. Said mcafee agent uses certain products. If anyone knows what I can do at this point? I have Windows Vista... Should I bother with uninstalling mcafee? I loaded the essential protection of microsoft and I read that you don't need both...

Help!

Forget about using Windows Defender:

Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and it automatically disables the version of Vista in Windows Defender.

If it's not:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off

Turn Windows Defender on or off the information on the link above of Microsoft.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You shouldn't have 2 installled of AVs.

It can cause system hangs, freeze etc.

  • Uninstalled McAfee, now the computer does not start - crashes at MUP. SYS

    Hi new to the forums here - I'm pretty desperate at this point - here's the game:

    I guess that the problem lies with the uninstall - never had any problems before and did a reinstall of fees<1 year="" ago. ="" computer="" is="" only="" used="" as="" htpc="" and="" occasional="" web="">

    McAfee, asked me to reboot after uninstall so I agreed.  I assumed that I would run the McAfee removal tool once the computer has been restarted, but now my computer freezes right on a black screen after the initial startup.  When I boot in safe mode, the computer hangs on the last file MUP. SYS.  I have left on all night, still will not get past the MUP. SYS

    I have run chkdsk and found 0 errors.  I also followed the indications of MS here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 does not.  I used Hiren boot and back up my data.

    Running XP MCE 2005 cumulative 2 - SP3.  The computer is a Sony Vaio - so I did not have a full XP disk, only the recovery discs (thanks to strip sony!).  I downloaded a copy of the recovery console which I can boot to.  Is there a way I can run the MCPR.exe since the recovery console?  What else could be the cause? Thank you very much!

    PS I also unplugged all devices except for my keyboard and mouse.

    Unfortunately I do not know which files to delete McAfee.  I guess there could be hundreds of them.

    I sincerely apologize for bad reading you post. The problem was more than likely caused by the process of uninstalling McAfee. Hang up on MUP. SYS actually has nothing to do with the Ministry of the INTERIOR. SYS file. It is simply the last file loaded by windows when an attempt to start in safe mode has been selected. There are a number of issues that can cause this error. As I said above, in your case, it was likely to McAfee.

  • Completely uninstall McAfee

    My computer came installed with McAfee and now it asks to be reinstalled, but it will not reinstall if I was about to delete it, but the privacy service will not erase and I keep getting pop ups saying to reinstall McAfee. It uninstalls everything except the privacy service. I wonder if anyone has the solution to my problem. I want to reinstall AVG, but I'm not sure if the McAfee Privacy Service can damage my computer or not, because there are two types of protection anti-virus on my computer. I know that I am following the procedures to uninstall McAfee. I restart my computer after Word as well and it still won't delete it from my computer completely.

    McAfee took down the link you have in your answer. You have recent McAfee virus cures.

  • If the window Defender performs the same work as McAfee Total Security, why is it when I uninstall the McAfee I get a message that I don't have anti-virus protection?

    Above says it all.

    Above says it all.

    They do * not * do the same thing. Windows Defender is an anti-spyware program only. When you uninstall McAfee, you have p anti-spyware [protection, but no anti-spyware protection.]

    Moreover, in my opinion, McAfee is one of the worst of the available security programs.  For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you are willing to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (do not run more than one) of the following three:
     
    Avira AntiVir
    Avast
    Microsoft Security Essentials

    Try to use the McAffee removal tool: http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507 through this link. It is not uncommon that products McAffee do not uninstall correctly or completely, and this tool is often the case.

    If this does not work and it is always on your system, download and install Revo Uninstaller: http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html. Use the Advanced mode if Mcafee Site Advisor is on the list and who should do the trick.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Impossible to completely uninstall McAfee program

    Bought 3 McAfee license.  2 programs installed on the desktop and laptop.  Third license installed on the Dell laptop, but some itms has not installed correctly.  You need to reinstall but same problem. Computer laptop but of course purchased pre-installed trial version has replaced it and was left without security. Checked the account McAfee online and showed all 3 licenses in use.  Downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials for protection or safe, but not able to completely uninstall McAfee.  Program will appear in Add/Remove Programs area OK but when click on delete, just an empty box appears.  Happy enough to leave but worried it will conflict with the current Microsoft security.  How can I uninstall completely all the associated files of McAfee?

    New Aspire E11, Windows 8.1

    Help, please.

    Here is how I fixed it:

    Go to control panel > network and Internet > network sharing Center

    Click on "Change adapter settings" in the left pane.

    Right click on your map. Select "Properties".

    There will be a box titled "this connection uses the following items."

    Uncheck anything that looks like it was installed by a third party (AVG, Avast, ZoneAlarm). In my case, the culprit was 'HTC NDIS Protocol Driver", who was installed by the software of my phone (HTC). Because it's not obvious what to uncheck, here is what I currently have checked in my system of work which should not cause a problem:

    KEEP THESE CHECKED:

    Client for Microsoft networks
    QoS Packet Scheduler
    File and Printer Sharing
    IP v6
    Internet Protocol v4
    Driver Link-Layer Topology Discovery map IO
    Link-Layer Topology Discovery recall

    Uncheck everything else.

    Go to network and sharing, disable and re-enable the adapter.
