Posted by: BGM
« on: 07. February 2015., 14:58:48 »Thanks to everyone for the comments and help. Finally was able to " wake up the Mcafee Enterprise group" and they do admit that the enterprise products are difficult to remove. One would think that they would make it easier to " legally " remove an Enterprise product so that one of their small business/retail products can be installed. Yes there is a Mcafee Tech note on " manual removal " however that requires many registry edits that could lead to even more issues if not real careful and skilled ! Here is the correct way to remove Mcafee Enterprise VirusScan V8.X
1) run the windows uninstall for that product under administrative account... reboot
2) run setup--Rip--Ma.4.x.exe ...reboot
3) run setup--Rip--VSE.8.x.exe ... reboot
All Mcafee Rip ( rippers ) will complete by noting that a log has been created and was successful.
That's the real way to fully clean off all the registry and files on your computer.
I have highly suggested to Mcafee Management that they make sure the small business/retail tech support folks know how to remove the enterprise tools.

Perhaps reinstallation of the program offers also repair and removal alternatives! It supports also to try.
Then run McAfee Virtual Technician and follow instructions!- run McAfee Virtual Technician and follow instructions - See more at: http://scforum.info/index.php?topic=9624.new#new- run McAfee Virtual Technician and follow instructions - See more at: http://scforum.info/index.php?topic=9624.new#new

Don't overlook this option for removing via "msiexec.exe": https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB52648

However, my recommendation is to you try (before) all other solutions for "automatic" uninstallation... for example:
- try to install VSE 8.7 again, after that go to Control Panel and follow my instructions for removing from previous post
- run McAfee Virtual Technician and follow instructions: http://www.mcafee.com/us/downloads/free-tools/virtual-technician.aspx

« on: 01. February 2015., 19:18:15 »Fintec , thanks for the info , however that for the consumer product. Mcafee Enterprise Virusscan V8.7i is an enterprise product and appears that that tool is not made for the enterprise products. Still looking , you would think they would at least help those who are trying to do the right thing.

« on: 01. February 2015., 19:10:29 »Yes, tried the standard windows installer ( OS is XP SP3 ) and it appears to un-install , however there are still lots of registry items left , the problem is that when you try to install another licensed Mcafee product ( Mcafee Live Safe ) ( might not be the best but have licenses ) , it will not install. Mcafee small busiiness/home tech support cannot resolve and basically blame it on not fully removing the enterprise version.
There used to be a Mcafee removal tool for Enterprise Virusscan 8.Xi since it was so difficult to get rid of , but I cannot find it anywhere. I dont have access to the enterprise group for assistance. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD BE HELPFUL REMOVING A CORPORATE TOOL AND REPLACING WITH A PROPER TOOL FOR HOME USE
Will follow the links below , have not tried the thrid party un-installers since there is not a lot of information about them.

« on: 01. February 2015., 12:05:40 »I stand corrected ... I do have RevoUninstaller (not pro) and it does a good job of removing left over files ... It is worth a try if nothing else works??Hello @wwjd,
You are rigth @wwjd...
Even free version from RevoUninstaller is better than Windows's own add remove application! Without it (Revo or e.g.) you have must to be installed VirtualMachine on your computer. It work many cases and it's safe!

« on: 31. January 2015., 22:27:45 »Hi @wwjd,
First I'll ike to say that, RevoUninstaller Pro Is not free program!
Mere RevoUninslaller yes is free, but not Pro version!
@BGM I like to tell that, please read this first:
http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS101331
and try their own Removal tool (MCPR) to uninstal leftover data
from your computer.

which error code you get?
I suppose that you tried un-installation process through Control Panel (Add - Remove programs) via "Change" button?
cya later,
Samker
P.S.
I splitted your post from other Topic and started this (new) one... on this way, it'll be easier (faster) for you to get help.
