I use Mcafee (Multi Access) Parental Controls on my child's computer. They need to use an administrative account for their classes but this also allows them to easily uninstall Mcafee and the Parental Controls.
If someone knew the name of the exe controlling the uninstallation, I could temporarily block that with another application (Cold Turkey)--preventing uninstallation.
Hi @robjake7
The Kid's account should be assigned with Standard account privilege to control uninstallation of McAfee Parental Control. To get more information on configuring McAfee parental control please click the below link.

Thanks for responding.
Unfortunately, my kid has to use an administrative account for their schoolwork. Giving them a standard account is simply not an option in this case.
This is why I was wondering if you knew the .exe responsible for Mcafee's uninstallation. If I (temporarily) removed access to that, they would be unable to get rid of it.
Hi @robjake7 ,
We can't prevent PC administrator to uninstall McAfee Parental Control, but we will take this as feedback and share it with our Engineering team.
