McAfee popups

Hi, if you get an indication that your AV has detected a virus, you should take that seriously. Don't simply uninstall the AV or disable it.

You say

- do you mean it's disabled? (Many functions will be if you have a 3rd party AV installed).

- did nothing happen at all, or did it start to uninstall, or what?

Are you even sure you have McAfee AV installed- or do you have one of their other products - see those listed here:

McAfee Removal Tool - McAfee Uninstaller

If McAfee is damaged in some manner you could try to uninstall it. Here are two ways:
McAfee Consumer Support- Official Site

Methods 1 & 2.
Method 2 uses a separate tool you download. Most AV's have such a tool.

If you do that you should find Defender is fully enabled again, and you should ensure it's up to data and run a full scan.

Unable to uninstall McAfee

Have you tried the Mcafee uninstall/clean up tool?

Download and run the MCPR tool:

• Download the MCPR tool from http://us.mcafee.com/apps/supporttools/mcpr/mcpr.asp and save it to a temporary folder on your computer.
  
  
  
  NOTE: Because the MCPR tool is updated periodically, always download a new copy before each use to ensure that it can recognize and fully remove newer McAfee products.
  
  
• Browse to the folder where you saved the file and double-click MCPR.exe.
• If you see a User Account Control dialog box, click Yes.
• At the McAfee Software Removal screen, click Next.
• At the End User License Agreement (EULA) dialog box, click Next to accept the agreement.
• When prompted, type the Captcha information exactly as seen (it is case-sensitive) and then click Next. (This step minimizes accidental executions of MCPR.)
• If you have Family Protection installed, follow steps a and b below. Otherwise, continue to step 8.
  • Type your Family Protection Administrator name and Password, then click Next.
  • If authentication fails, follow the on-screen instructions to obtain an uninstall code.
• When you see the CleanUp Successful message, restart your computer to completely remove your McAfee product.
