Computer help: How to Uninstall 'McAfee Internet Security Suite 2004 ver.6.0'
How to Uninstall 'McAfee Internet Security Suite 2004 ver.6.0'
by worthos2 - 4/9/04 3:28 AMI installed 'McAfee Internet Security Suite 2004 ver.6.0' on my laptop a few days ago and ever since, I have had nothing but trouble. What with Personal Firewall Plus switching itself on and off when it chooses, etc., I want to un-install it and return to my old Anti-Virus.
Can you tell me how to uninstall the suite? In the computer's 'Control Panel' there are 2 McAfee items: 'McAfee Internet Security 6.0' and also 'McAfee Security Centre'. Do I use these (if so, which one first?) or do I use the CD to uninstall? I am using Windows XP Pro.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Yours digitally challenged,
Annabel.

Larry has given good information about uninstalling Internet Security 6. Unfortunately, sometimes the "Security Center" section doesn't uninstall correctly. After doing the uninstall of IS6, please check the suggestions at the link
below just to make sure that it's gone.:

(Are you saying you've had to use another computer, because the uninstall messed it up, or did you have problems prior to this and felt an uninstall was in order?)

I discovered remnents of a previous version of the program. It probably didn't matter if they remained, but I went ahead and removed them.
Uninstalling McAfee Security Suite?
by rsalazar70 - 8/7/06 2:13 PM In reply to: Re:How to Uninstall 'McAfee Internet Security Suite 2004 ver.6.0' by TufenufI installed it on my machine and it has created a bottleneck. It won't uninstall. It has even affected my printer. It has become a nuisance. Has McAfee another solution for it. Maybe they have a CD to uninstall it. Has anyone checked?
not pleased, Ray
Ray, Which Version?

In reply to: Uninstalling McAfee Security Suite? by rsalazar70
McAfee has uninstall instructions for all of its programs. (Some of them are "manual" uninstall procedures for those times when the standard uninstall doesn't work correctly.) Please tell us exactly which Internet Security Suite you have installed? McAfee recently did an automatic upgrade of all the Virus Scan 8, 9, and 10 versions which were included in earlier Internet Security Suites. They upgraded to VS 11/ISS 9. It's caused major issues on a lot of machines.
RIGHT click on the red "M" in the lower right corner, choose "Virus Scan", choose "About" and tell us the "build" number. If you've got the exact Internet Security Suite number, that would help also.
The strangest part.. They don't have the full uninstall instructions yet for the newest Virus Scan 11/Internet Security Suite 9...even though they released it about two weeks ago. Still, I should be able to help.
Hope this helps and let us know more.

But first, it would be nice if we knew the operating system you're using????
Basically, the McAfee uninstall instructions tell you to open the Control Panel, double click on "Add/Remove Programs, then uninstall each of the separate parts of the Security Center in the order below:
* McAfee Privacy Service
* McAfee Personal Firewall Plus
* McAfee SpamKiller
* McAfee VirusScan
* McAfee SecurityCenter
There are separate manual uninstall procedures for each one which can be looked up on the link below:
http://ts.mcafeehelp.com/default.asp?siteID=1&resolution=800x600
For example, as to your VirusScan 10 version.(You'll see a link to the Cleanup tool.):

And as to uninstalling Security Center, try the link below:

Hope this helps.

..then download the free McAfee Removal Tool from the link below and run it.. It should clean out any remnants of the McAfee program on your machine, IF it's actually installed on the machine:
Please note: Clicking on the link below will immediately bring up the download dialogue window.. Choose to "Save" the file to your desktop and once it's there, close all your internet browsers and double click on the downloaded file to start the removal process.
