    Getting rid of McAfee from the computer


    I have just factory restored a HP Pavillion tower and have removed the McAfee from the Programs and features and also deleted the keys bar one in the registry editor - clicking on it to delete the very last entry tells me that it isn't accessible .

    Anyone got any ideas on how to remove this last remnant from the regedit please

    :)

    Win 10 How to get rid of Windows.old folder and content.


    *Think

    As always, there seems to be lots of alleged fixes out there, which may work on versions earlier than Win 10... but not with Win 10. The struggle for getting rid of this now un-needed bloat seems to be wrapped up in file permissions. But even when I try to clobber it with administrative authority, it won't budge. One fix suggests that you can use disk cleanup to get rid of it by selecting previous installation files. Heh. Yeah. Just TRY and find that option in Win 10.

    Ok. Somebody hopefully has managed to resolve this inigma. Step by step, please. Getting rid of McAfee from the computer :)
