I've been struggling to uninstall McAfee for about an hour now. I've tried the usual methods, like using the Windows apps menu and even the official McAfee uninstaller, but it gets stuck at 80% of the process. I've restarted my laptop a few times and attempted both methods again, but nothing seems to work. Can anyone give me some solid advice? It's driving me crazy!

You should try downloading the MCPR tool from McAfee's support site. It's specifically designed for stubborn uninstallations. Just run the tool and follow the on-screen instructions to fully remove McAfee from your system.
Honestly, McAfee is like a virus itself! I ended up switching antivirus software and just force deleted it from my system. Might seem drastic, but it worked for me.
If you can't get it done with Uninstallers, the nuclear option is to wipe the OS and reinstall everything. It's a last resort, but could save you the headache if all else fails.
Don't forget to check the Program Files folder and delete the McAfee folder if it’s still hanging around after trying to uninstall. Sometimes leftover files cause issues.
If that doesn't work, you might want to consider using Revo Uninstaller. It’s a free tool that can help remove applications that don’t uninstall properly. Just be cautious with built-in Windows apps since removing those can sometimes cause issues.
