    I can't uninstall a fake McAfee Scan Security app. I've tried every step to remove...


    I have been unable to uninstall a FAKE version of McAfee Security Scan. I never ordered it, but I keep getting pop ups on my computer on the lower right-hand side of the screen. I've done everything to remove it. I completed step-by-step instructions I was given by Gemini, Google and co-pilot. In the end, they all advised me to contact Microsoft Customer Support. The last step that co-pilot gave me is to reset my browser back to default.... there are some more steps

    :)

    How do you uninstall the McAfee Security Scan Plus app? I have tried everything.

    I had two McAfee apps on my list of Installed Apps and I was able to uninstall one of them but not the McAfee Security Scan Plus app. When I click on Uninstall for the McAfee app, I get a pop-up that will not open all the way. I think it is telling me what I will be losing if I uninstall the app. I cannot maximize the window so I can continue to uninstall the app. I have tried ALL troubleshooting tips including the McAfee MCPR Tool. I even chatted with Microsoft Support and gave access to my computer. She did the exact same things I did and then restarted my computer so I lost her. She did not fix my problem with uninstalling the McAfee app. Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution? Suggestions?
