McAfee removed from Mac but still tries to update and fails

Jump to solution

Hi; I have BT-Virus Protect, which includes McAfee.

I tried to remove it, which seemed to go to plan, but it still tries to update - I get "McAfee Notification; BT Virus Protect; Error while installing updates".

Any ideas how I can stop this please?

So far McAfee have send me to BT and BT have sent me to Apple, but I can't see how they might help?

Bob

Hi @hallsworthb 

We are truly sorry for the trouble. Can you Please share screenshot when you try to remove McAfee? Does it shows any error?

Hi @Magesh 

Thank you. In fact I reinstalled it and then removed it using the uninstall app. Touch wood, it seems OK now.

I have the same problem. the MacAfee support team deleted and reinstalled the software a few weeks ago. That solved the problem for a while. now I have the same error. Do I really have to deinstall and reinstall every few weeks? hdo box
