How To Uninstall McAfee Security

1. The standard and easiest way to uninstall McAfee Security:

First, we need to make sure the app isn't running, so lets open Force Quit (from the Apple menu on the top left of your screen) and terminate the app if you see it running:


 - Now, open your Applications folder.
 - Right-click on "McAfee Security".
 - Click on "Move to Bin" (or "Move to Trash" on older versions of macOS)

2. How to remove McAfee Security using the Terminal:

 - Open the macOS Terminal from Applications > Utilities.
 - Type killall "McAfee LiveSafe - Internet Security", hit ENTER
 - Type rm -rf "/Applications/McAfee Security from Bell - Good - Internet Security.app", then hit ENTER.
 - If that fails, try typing sudo rm -rf "/Applications/McAfee Security from Bell - Good - Internet Security.app"
 - Now type rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.mcafee.console, hit ENTER.

This will remove McAfee Security from your Mac, but some supporting and related files will be left behind. Read on for how to remove those.
