Because we cannot uninstall the program when it is in Managed Mode, we have to first change McAfee into Unmanaged Mode.

Open the Command Prompt.

Click in the search box on the bottom left corner of task bar (either Cortana or the magnifying glass) and type “Command Prompt”  Click on the icon that appears.

Next, we have to navigate the Command Prompt to your Program Files folder.

• First, try typing the following: cd “C:\Program Files (x86)\McAfee\Common Framework”

• If that worked, then continue to the next step. Otherwise, if you got a message saying the system cannot find the path specified, then type the following: cd “C:\Program Files\McAfee\Common Framework”

From there, type the following: frminst.exe /remove=agent and press the Enter key. Now McAfee will be in Unmanaged Mode.

When that program finishes its work, go ahead and close the Command Prompt.

Click in the search box on the bottom left corner of task bar (either Cortana or the magnifying glass) and type “Add or remove programs”  Click on the icon that appears.

First, click McAfee VirusScan Enterprise and select Uninstall.

After it finishes uninstalling, look for McAfee AntiSpyware Enterprise Module. If it’s there, uninstall it. Otherwise, move to the next step.

If there are any other programs that have the word McAfee, and only if they are NOT McAfee Agent, then remove them.

When there is only McAfee Agent left, remove McAfee Agent. Make sure McAfee Agent is removed last.

With that, McAfee will be completely uninstalled from your machine.
