Windows 10: I need admin access to uninstall mcafee and this is my personal computer. How do I get...

Error: "You need permission to perform this action. You need permission from Administrators to make changes to this folder."The reason for this is I can't download anything at all and based on others with this issue, it's due to McAfee. Every time I try to download it says "Couldn't download - Virus scan failed. " which is super frustrating when this is my computer.Even with this and trying to insert screenshots, It won't work. I got advice from another board to download something to remove it but again, it said "Couldn't download - Virus scan failed"

PC Hell: How to Uninstall McAfee

 

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.
