PC Hell: How to Uninstall McAfee

 

McAfee being blocked by system administrator.

Hello Jimmy,

This issue with Windows blocking McAfee can be caused by few reasons. Reinstalling it by running the McAfee Consumer Product Removal can help you resolve this. Also, a similar issue has been actually resolved before from a similar thread. We suggest that
you check Arul_D's answer from this
post.

For the snare virus that you mentioned, it would be best if you send us more details about it. A screen shot would help a lot as well in narrowing down the issue.

We're looking forward to your response. Keep us posted!
