Asked By CuriousCat42 On

I'm following up on a previous post about a BSOD issue related to a McAfee driver on my Windows system. I believe my drive is fine, and I'm planning to boot from Linux and disable the McAfee driver. I came across advice suggesting that renaming a system file from .sys to .bak is a possible fix. Is it safe to do that?

Honestly, just uninstall McAfee if you can. It's been known to cause a lot of problems. If you can't boot into Windows, you might need to do a clean installation or use a recovery tool to remove it.
