Windows 10: When I try to uninstall Mcafee, I get a blank pop-up screen. Can't even end/stop...

I am really frustrated. I even tried using Revo Uninstaller. Whenever I try to uninstall the free trial program of Macafee "McAfee Security", the program that should pop up, the mcafee uninstaller, shows up as blank/white. I've tried restarting my computer. I also can't even end the mcafee processes or end the services. When I try, I get the "access denied" error message. I even get that error message when I try to end the processes/services via command prompt. I'm at a loss of what to do honestly. I just wanna get rid of this program.

Unable to uninstall McAfee

Have you tried the Mcafee uninstall/clean up tool?

Download and run the MCPR tool:

• Download the MCPR tool from http://us.mcafee.com/apps/supporttools/mcpr/mcpr.asp and save it to a temporary folder on your computer.
  
  
  
  NOTE: Because the MCPR tool is updated periodically, always download a new copy before each use to ensure that it can recognize and fully remove newer McAfee products.
  
  
• Browse to the folder where you saved the file and double-click MCPR.exe.
• If you see a User Account Control dialog box, click Yes.
• At the McAfee Software Removal screen, click Next.
• At the End User License Agreement (EULA) dialog box, click Next to accept the agreement.
• When prompted, type the Captcha information exactly as seen (it is case-sensitive) and then click Next. (This step minimizes accidental executions of MCPR.)
• If you have Family Protection installed, follow steps a and b below. Otherwise, continue to step 8.
  • Type your Family Protection Administrator name and Password, then click Next.
  • If authentication fails, follow the on-screen instructions to obtain an uninstall code.
• When you see the CleanUp Successful message, restart your computer to completely remove your McAfee product.

 

Mcafee reinstalls files after uninstall

It works for me. You get a pop up window saying d/l MCPR. Your pop up blocker might be stopping it. Glad you said something though, I was wondering after you said that if that linked to an outdated site or not.
