Locate the uninstall command in the Windows registry and use it to remove the product as follows:

CAUTION: This article contains information about opening or modifying the registry.

• The following information is intended for System Administrators. Registry modifications are irreversible and could cause system failure if done incorrectly.
• Before proceeding, Technical Support strongly recommends that you back up your registry and understand the restore process. For more information, see the Microsoft Windows registry information for advanced users article.
• Do not run a REG file that is not confirmed to be a genuine registry import file.

1. Press Windows+R, type regedit, and click OK.
2. Navigate to one of the following registry keys:
   
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Wow6432Node/McAfee/ePolicy Orchestrator/Application Plugins
   Or
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Wow6432Node/NetworkAssociates/ePolicy Orchestrator/Application Plugins
   
   NOTE:​ McAfee products might be listed under both of the above registry keys. The uninstall string is identical, and only needs to be executed once. 
    
3. Select the key for the product that you want to remove. For example, VIRUSCAN8800.
4. Right-click Uninstall Command, and click Modify.
5. Highlight the text in the Value data field, right-click, and select Copy.
   Example:
   
   VIRUSCAN8800\Uninstall Command= "msiexec /x {CE15D1B6-19B6-4D4D-8F43-CF5D2C3356FF} REMOVE=ALL REBOOT=R /q"


6. Click Cancel.
7. Close the registry editor.
8. Press Windows+R, type Run, paste the contents copied from step 5 into the Open field, and then click OK.

NOTE: You can use the Uninstall Command value within batch files to automate the software removal process across many endpoints, if needed.

IMPORTANT: The managed McAfee Agent must be removed last. Remove it after all other McAfee managed products, such as VirusScan Enterprise. If needed, use the frminst.exe /forceuninstall command to forcefully remove the McAfee Agent from an endpoint, managed or not. For more information, see: KB65863 - How to manually remove McAfee Agent 5.x 

Remove some or all McAfee products using the Endpoint Product Removal (EPR) tool.

To obtain the EPR tool, see: KB90895.- Endpoint Product Removal tool to uninstall McAfee products

IMPORTANT: The EPR tool is available to any customer with an active Grant Number. The grant number must contain licensing for any one product for which EPR supports removal.
