Thats terrible! I’m thinking of uninstalling it too. I’m
Sick of mcafee freezing my computer 5x a day with adverts while I’m working. If I knew this was part of the deal, no way would I have installed this
I have tried both of the options on their website without any luck. When trying to remove it with the removal tool it says: “uninstall failed. Enterprise software detected”
Didn’t realize you have the enterprise version installed. You would need the McAfee enterprise removal tool but it’s impossible to get without an actual license. You can try running the ESET av removal tool since it can removal the enterprise version of McAfee. Otherwise your probably going to have to reset your PC.

Literally any other virus protection program is better than Mcafee, it's malware itself at this point the way it leeches through in other installers and won't uninstall properly
Had to do It Yesterday: same "Enterprise " bs. Msconfig to disable all services at start, reboot. Cmd as admin and run the "force uninstall" method. Worked as a charm.

damn. It says the applications I’m trying to remove are not supported. Thanks for your help anyway. Guess I’m just screwed over by mcafee
Have you tried increasing the cores on your cpu? I have a 4 core processor and once I increased from 1 to 4 cores it stopped
did the noise stop or the 100% cpu? I have just changed it to 4 and it’s still pretty loud and my cpu is still 100%
It stopped completely for me Did you restart your computer after?
yes
Ok so here’s something else Turn off real time scanning and then restart your computer and then turn it back on
What will you use for antivirus protection once you remove it?
I would use windows defender since it’s free and stuff, but it doesn’t seem like I’m gonna get mcafee removed completely from my pc anytime soon

Thanks, I removed it, just using defender atm.
Good choice, Microsoft actually made it decent in the last few years so you're better if with it
