Windows 10: How to uninstall McAfee? Also what is Killer NetWork Service?

I’m trying to uninstall McAfee, but the “uninstall” button is greyed out and it won’t let me uninstall it because of this.

I try to end the McAfee tasks in task manager, but it won’t let me.

Also what is Killer Network Service? I don’t remember installing it and it appears on my task manager.

Thanks!

After uninstalling McAfee, McAfee Service Controller and McAfee Validation Trust Protection Services are still running in 'Services'

Good Day,

I am unable to stop McAfee services in 'Services'.

Computer: Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit.

In Control Panel all McAfee products are not seen (as were uninstalled).

Task Manager shows the following products existent (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC):

• McAfee Data Exchange Layer service
• McAfee Management Service
• McAfee Process Validation Service

Anyone come across such and could provide clues?

Thanks and regards!

 

Guide: Turn your Killer E2200 NIC into Qualcomm Atheros AR8161

Basically I right click on the Killer Network Adapter in Device manager > Uninstall > Check the box to DELETE driver for this device

Then you won't have a relevant network adapter listed. So you have to add a new device, and I just followed the instructions listed in this thread... does that help?

 

Win10 1803 Fail - Needs Non-Existant McAfee Uninstalled

Problem resolved. Don't ask my which one of these steps fixed it:
- Ran both McAfee and Norton uninstall tools twice (reboot after each uninstall).
- Found and removed all registry entries containing "McAfee", "Network Associates", "Norton", and "Symantec"
- Found and removed all files/folders containing "McAfee", "Network Associates", "Norton", and "Symantec"
I would be shocked (or would I?) if Windows Update was getting tripped up on some Norton artifact and reporting it was McAfee.
But I did find that the Norton uninstall left a LOT of ...stuff... laying around. Not impressed.
