Hi Peter,
I am a network administrator at a small software firm. We use Enterprise McAfee products across our network, so our staff has grown accustomed to seeing 'McAfee' popups as legitimate. The latest Adobe updates have been installed (for people who do not read the license and check the add-ons) with McAfee Security Scan. We have had a large number of calls from our staff regarding popups for the Security Scan and we are looking for a way to uninstall this program at a network level (specifically, through a login script). 'C:\Program Files\McAfee Security Scan\uninstall.exe' brings up a box in which the user must click 'Uninstall' and we would like to force that uninstallation and make it invisible to our end-users. What command-line options are available to force the uninstallation, quietly if at all possible, of McAfee Security Scan?
Regards,
Johnny

Sorry but I have no idea. You would have to ask that of Support or at least post a new thread in Business.
The uninstall worked like a charm.
Thanks again for the help!
