When McAfee Bugs You, Really Kill It

Did your new PC come with the free trail McAfee virus tool installed? It can be very irritating, continuing to urge you to make a purchase even after you've uninstalled it.

Luckily, McAfee offers a removal tool to correct this problem, although of course they don't advertise it. To download MCPR.exe, go to http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe.

First be sure you've used the Control Panel's uninstall utility (Programs and Features in Windows 10) to remove the McAfee program. Then run MCPR.exe to clean out the troublesome nag files left behind.

If you also have a good protection program like Norton 360, you're good. Otherwise, consider installing a free antivirus program like TotalAV
