Windows 10: How do I uninstall McAfee "LiveSafe" off my Win10 Dell Laptop. Note: I HAVE ALREADY TRIED...

I know how to access Programs and Features, I know how to get to the old Uninstall via Control Panel, but NOTHING is working to get rid of this POS software that I didn't want in the first place. It still pops up with giant ads covering 25% of my screen numerous times a day. I was able to uninstall the other 3-4 programs that were also McAfee related, but the last one, this McAfee "LiveSafe" I cannot get rid of.


So when I go to Programs and Features and click Uninstall, it asks me for permissions to make changes to this computer, I click yes, then a McAfee "LiveSafe" window pops up with a Cancel and (greyed out) Continue button at the bottom, with just a white screen, and then a second or two later, a McAfee ad appears at the top of the window, but NOTHING ELSE shows up. No options to pick what I want to uninstall or anything you would normally expect. It just sits there.


In my task manager, there are at least 8-10 McAfee process that show up, as either disabled or not running, yet I'm still getting the pop up ads.


So I need something other than the normal way of uninstalling something. PLEASE! Thanks in advance!

Preinstalled McAfee LiveSafe on laptop - Should I Uninstall?


I bought a new laptop, it came with McAfee LiveSafe.
I heard only bad things about McAfee and apparently it just slows everything down.
Should I uninstall it and replace it with any free AV?

If yes, what Free AV is best (lightweight on system resources yet reliable) for Win10?

I have McAfee installed on my corporate laptop )no choice)... it's constantly trying to download or upload stuff. (I'm on my home network ATM but it's still looking for ePO... go figure)






I won't get drawn into what's the best, just giving some info to help you make a decision.

 

McAfee LiveSafe + Windows Defender


I have McAfee LiveSafe. Should I run McAfee LiveSafe plus Windows Defender? Would it be more protective if I used Windows Defender plus some product other than McAfee LiveSafe? Lastly, is it best to use Windows Defender by itself?

I asked a very similar question some time ago and honestly did not clearly understand the advice.

Thank you.
