Hey everyone, I've been having a frustrating issue with my Lenovo laptop ever since I uninstalled McAfee antivirus. Now, I can't download anything at all, and I suspect it might be due to the uninstallation process. I'm not getting any clear error messages, just a constant roadblock. Does anyone have advice on how to solve this?

It sounds like McAfee might not have fully uninstalled from your system, and that could be causing your download issues. You might want to try running the official McAfee removal tool to get rid of any leftover files. Since you can't download it normally, try booting your laptop in safe mode with networking, and then download the removal tool that way.
Do you see any specific error messages when you try downloading? That might help narrow down the problem. Sometimes, it could also be a Windows issue, so checking for updates could be useful too, especially after uninstalling security software.
Yeah, I had a similar problem before! Booting in safe mode was a game changer for me, definitely worth a shot!
