Problem with uninstalling McAfee Total Protection

Jump to solution

Hello,

I tried to install new McAfee Total Protection license. I run installer, which requested rebooting machine to complete unistallation of previous version / copy. Following rebooting I repeatedly receive request for rebooting for completing uninstallation. WSSInstallHelper and MCPR does not resolve issue.

I removed all McAfee references from registry as well as McAfee files from the system with no success, too.

Which file / folder should be removed. How to to fix this issue and install new McAfee Total Protection?

Zbigniew
