McAfee is company that publishes computer protection applications and suites such as Internet Security Suite and PC Protection Plus. The McAfee products shield computers from viruses and spyware, prevent spam emails, offer computer maintenance and backup, and provide parental control features. However, if you need to uninstall a McAfee product, whether you want to upgrade or install another antivirus, you can remove it using the standard Windows removal procedure.

  • Go to the "Start" menu and select "Control Panel."

  • Click "Uninstall a program" under "Programs" to open the "Programs and Features" window.

  • Scroll through the list of currently installed programs and select the McAfee product you want to uninstall. Click the "Uninstall" button, check boxes next to the programs you want to uninstall and click "Remove."

  • Follow the step-by-step prompts of the uninstallation wizard to remove McAfee from your computer automatically and then reboot your PC.

Tips & Warnings

  • If the described process did not remove McAfee, you can use the free McAfee Consumer Products Removal tool (see Resources) to remove all McAfee programs from your computer automatically.
