I have Microsoft do i need anything more to protect my computer? like McAfee

:)

 

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

Hello Sumit,

Thanks a lot for the response, and YES, the McAfee Removal Tool (MCPR.exe) worked!

In fact, McAfee provided me another tool - MFERemoval100.exe and this one requires several steps with switches for every component. I didn't have to do it with the one you provided.

I removed other McAfee registry entries manually after this step. Checked, all good!

Wish you great days ahead!
