Uninstall McAfee products silently

Jump to solution

Hello,
I need to uninstall McAfee products from company managed devices
As we have a lot of machines with the pre-installed version of McAfee, we need to do it using script automation, how can I do that? Should I use MCPR? what are the parameters for silent uninstall? I can't find information about this anywhere

Hi @TiagoSF ,

Greetings from Mcafee.

McAfee software you are using are consumer product and we are sorry to inform you that we do not have Script automation process for Mcafee removal. We suggest you to use MCPR for McAfee Anti-virus removal and Manual uninstallation process for other Mcafee products Such as Mcafee WebAdvisor, McAfee Security Scan Plus and Mcafee Safe Connect.

For manual Uninstallation kindly follow below steps:

  1. Click Start, and type Programs into the search bar.
  2. Click Programs and Features.
  3. Right-click on the McAfee program that you want to uninstall and select Uninstall/Change.
  4. Select any relevant options, then click Uninstall.
  5. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Feel free to reach our consumer support team for any further assistance.
