Here's what I did using step-by-step instructions to successfully and completely remove McAfee Security Scan Plus, and to prevent it from installing in the future:

How to Fix: Can't Uninstall McAfee Security Scan Plus - (Won't Remove) I'll explain how I removed McAfee Security Scan Plus step-by-step below. Once that was done, I attempted to 'uninstall' the product through Control Panel -> Programs and Features, in which case Windows complained that the program was no longer there, and asked if it should be removed from the Control Panel - I clicked 'Yes.' After that, there were no more traces of the program. After that, I rebooted the machine and then manually removed the McAfee Security Scan Plus directory. I then tried to download the McAfee MCPR (McAfee Consumer Product Removal tool) to remove McAfee Security Scan Plus and rebooted the machine, but that did not remove the program, either.Īt this point I knew I had to do a manual uninstall of McAfee Security Scan Plus, so I did a bit of research online to find which Windows Registry keys were related to the program, then proceeded to remove them from the Windows Registry. Sure enough, McAfee Security Scan Plus would not remove from the Control Panel. I asked Shirley if she would like me to connect to her machine by remote to take a closer look, and she agreed. I had a hunch that the removal procedure for McAfee Security Scan Plus was going to be similar to the article I had already written on how to remove AVG Web Tuneup. I tried to remove Mcafee Security Scan Plus using the Control Panel -> Programs and Features, but it won't uninstall. I already have antivirus software installed on my machine so I don't need it.

Recently I downloaded Adobe Flash Player and it came bundled with McAfee Security Scan Plus. How to remove AVG Web TuneUp! I have a similar question.
