Mcafee reinstalls files after uninstall

I'm sorry, I should have mentioned there is a whole slew of uninstallers there listed alphabetically on the page, the McAfee removal tool was under M. Sorry I forgot to mention the part about scrolling down. *Redface

 

Mcafee reinstalls files after uninstall

Hi Borg,

I downloaded ESET AV Remover. It did not find the remaining files of McAfee, but it did a great job of uninstalling the AVG files. I wanted to get rid of that, but it did not show up on Revo Uninstaller. The ESET website does have instructions on how to manually remove files by starting in SafeMode. I'll try that next, and let you know. Thanks!

Update:
I tried the manual uninstall as instructed on the ESET page, but McAfee *Devilstill doesn't allow me permission. On to the next suggestion! McAfee is most definitely a virus

 

AVG vs McAfee

The hard drive on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop went bad and corrupted Windows. I had a local, independent technician replace it and Windows 10 OS. He was able to save all my data and settings. His work was reasonably priced and done in a reasonable amount
of time.

The laptop had come with McAfee. He could not re-load McAfee without my login info. He loaded a 1 year subscription to AVG. He strongly suggested that I keep AVG and not to re-load McAfee. He said AVG was faster, more thorough, and cheaper.

I have two questions:

1. Is his advice sound?

2. I do not know this technician. His shop got good local reviews. How can I be certain that he has not placed some malware on my laptop (such as a keylogger) which could compromise my passwords?

Thank You,

MC
