Uninstalling McAfee from a Windows PC involves the following steps: open the Run dialog box with Win + R, type appwiz.cpl, locate McAfee in the Program and Features window, click Uninstall, ensure the appropriate checkboxes are selected, and follow the prompts to complete the uninstallation. If issues persist, the McAfee Consumer Product Removal Tool (MCPR) can be downloaded and used to fully remove the program. For Mac users, the uninstallation process includes closing the McAfee application, opening Finder, selecting the Applications tab, locating the McAfee Total Protection Uninstaller, double-clicking it, entering the Mac administrator password, and following the prompts. Residual files may need to be manually deleted from specific directories, including /usr/local/, /Library/Application Support/, /Library/LaunchDaemons/, and /Library/LaunchAgents/. After uninstalling McAfee, users should also remove any McAfee browser extensions. For Chrome or Edge, this involves accessing the Extensions menu and removing McAfee extensions. For Safari, users need to go to Preferences, select the Extensions tab, and uninstall any McAfee extensions found. It is important to note that after removing McAfee and its extensions, the system will lack antivirus protection unless another security solution is activated.
