Hi Mike, go to programs and features, highlight the mcafee program, press enter to start the removal of mcafee. I believe you tab one time to enter the mcafee removal window, use your arrow keys, find where it says remove all mcafee components or something like that, make sure you check the checkbox with the spacebar, to remove the entire program. Staying on the same screen, you should see a message at top of the screen saying removing mcafee, please wait. When it is done, you will see at the bottom of the page, a restart is required to finish removing mcafee, press enter on the restart button at the bottom of the page. I did this to remove mcafee from my new computer, after I restarted my machine, Windows defender security center was activated. This is all you need for your anti-virus, no need in wasting money for other anti-virus programs, windows defender works just as well as any paid anti-virus programs that are out there. Now this is in reference to a computer running the W-10 creators update. But the steps above work on removing mcafee from your computer, no special tool needed. I just did a tandem with Jaws to remove mcafee from Ed's computer. I have now used the windows defender built-in free anti-virus program on both my computers for the last year, no issues at all on either of my computers. When people hear the word free and anti-virus, they think they are getting a weak product, this is not true anymore. Why waist your money on giant anti-virus programs that do not work well with Jaws, when you can use the free windows defender program that works well with Jaws. Again, I am speaking to those of you who are running W-10. If you are paying for a yearly subscription to an anti-virus program, in my humble opinion, you are wasting your money! Again I am speaking from experience, after using windows defender for one year on two computers. I used to use mcafee because it was one of the better anti-virus programs that used to work well with Jaws, not any m ore. Just my two cents worth! Smiles.

In your case, it's called "McAfee Consumer Products Removal tool"; can't speak on it's accessibility at all.
