McAfee Removal Tool

McAfee Removal Tool is the official McAfee app for uninstalling its antivirus software on Windows. This uninstaller allows you to completely remove all files related to McAfee's software, so you can start using the antivirus included on Windows by default or install another third-party antivirus.

Why you should use McAfee Removal Tool

When you're going to install a new antivirus, it's smart to completely remove the old one first. If you don't remove everything included with your previous malware detection software, you may encounter conflicts when installing the new one, or one antivirus software may mistake the other for malware.

Troubleshooting failed uninstallations

McAfee Removal Tool can also help you remove software if you've had trouble uninstalling it in the usual way, since sometimes there are residual files or other conflicts that can result in an incomplete uninstallation. This is also ideal if you want to perform a clean installation of McAfee's antivirus from scratch.

Removes even registry entries

McAfee Removal Tool automatically identifies all the files associated with McAfee's software and ensures that they're deleted without leaving a trace. In addition to deleting these files, it also removes entries from the Windows Registry and other configuration files related to the program.

How to use McAfee Removal Tool

After installing McAfee Removal Tool, click the "Next" button several times until this tool starts uninstalling all McAfee products, including McAfee AntiVirusPlus, McAfee Family Protection, McAfee Internet Security, McAfee Online Backup, McAfee Total Protection, and McAfee LiveSafe. Once this tool completes its work, you'll be prompted to restart your PC to make sure all the changes are applied correctly.
