Long-time McAfee admins remember the MCCLEANUP utility. This batch-style tool was designed for VirusScan Enterprise 8.x. While it is largely obsolete for ENS, it can sometimes remove stubborn leftover drivers that block a fresh ENS install. Use with caution: Running MCCLEANUP on a modern Windows 10/11 system can trigger false-positive detection of system files. mcafee endpoint security removal tool

Warning: Editing the registry is risky. Only do this if automated tools fail completely.

Recommendation: Always start with the official McAfee Product Removal tool (MCPR). Only use a third-party app if the official tool fails and you cannot contact your IT administrator.
