Hi @SRK1 ,

We understand your concern and kindly follow the below steps.

make sure removing web advisor in control panel by going to Win+R and type appwiz.cpl and check for webadvisor
Make sure removing web advisor extension from all the browsers
Make sure removing specifically Mcafee Webadvisor folder completely by going to Local Disk(c:)->Program files->McAfee->Webadvisor

If the issue persists we request you to update us with the screenshots to assist you further.

Hi Venkat,

As I mentioned previously, I do not see webadviser in installed programs. Shall I proceed with deleting the specified folder?

Not sure if your resolved this yet, but I just deleted the log file in 

C:\ProgramData\McAfee\WebAdvisor\browserhost.exe

You need Administrator permission to do this, but a new file is created.
