I received a call
from a friend saying when he tries to uninstall his old McAfee Security, he
gets the message“mcafee.com/agent/uninst/vsoremui.dll” missing! Where can he
get the .dll – or is there any other way to get rid of all these icons and
stuff?
In normal cases,
people can uninstall McAfee Security as you would any other program with steps
below to uninstall with the Windows uninstaller. But, for Windows 7/Vista, only
Windows administrators can uninstall McAfee Security.
1. Click Start,
Search, type Programs and Features, and click Go.
2. Double-click
Programs and Features.
3. Select the
McAfee Security product.
4. Click Uninstall
and follow the steps provided.
Maybe it’s because
trial versions of these products were preinstalled when the customer purchased
the computer, or maybe you want to uninstall McAfee and install another
antivirus software product. If after using add and remove programs you are
still unable to uninstall McAfee Security, Perfect Uninstaller can be your last
resort. Once it is installed on your computer, Perfect Uninstaller will work
its way to delete McAfee Security component or rip you off other McAfee program
through hard drive and registry as following.
Uninstall McAfee
Security with Perfect Uninstaller
1. Quit and exit
any currently running applications on your desktop.
2. Run Perfect
Uninstaller.
3. Select or
insert the option, Show Windows installer, on the main panel of Perfect
Uninstaller as attached.
4. Click any
component that starts with McAfee on the program list of Perfect Uninstaller
and click uninstall to begin the removal.
5. Click the
“Uninstall” button to start the removal.
6. Follow the
onscreen steps to finish the removal and reboot your computer.
Then, Force
Uninstall McAfee Security if you still detect them in the hard drive after
restarting computer.
1. Find the
directories directly in the hard drive where you locate the McAfee Security,
such as
2. C:\Program
Files\McAfee
3. C:\Program
Files\McAfee.com
4. Right click the
directory to select “Uninstall With PU” to start the removal.
5. Follow the on
screen steps to finish the removal.

and repeat the Uninstall process until all the directories of McAfee Security
are gone.啊
