How to Install McAfee Antivirus From CD

McAfee antivirus offers users a worry-free solution for their security needs whether browsing, email, and website protection besides blocking online threats like viruses, Trojans, worms, and other malware infections. There are two ways to install McAfee antivirus software on your computer. One is from the software CD that we have described here and other is from the internet.

Before we begin with the installation procedure, we hereby assume that you already have a McAfee antivirus CD handy. If you don't have one, you can call McAfee product support to ship you one. You can also go to a McAfee-authorized computer center to get the installation disk. Keep the McAfee antivirus software manual or documentation handy as it would have the product key printed on it somewhere.

Besides, if you are installing McAfee for the first time on your computer, do a few more things to make sure that McAfee installs properly. If you previously had other antivirus software installed, remove it completely from your computer before installing the McAfee software. Two antivirus programs always have a tendency to conflict with each other, resulting in common and frequent malfunctioning of either one besides showing error messages. Insert the McAfee setup disk into the CD drive of your computer. Wait for the automatic prompt. The McAfee Security Setup window will come up.

Hit the Next button to proceed. If no automatic prompt pops up, click on the Start menu and navigate to My Computer (Computer if it is Windows 7 or Vista). Double-click on the removable CD drive icon like E: or D: etc. It will fire up the McAfee setup disk. Hit the Next button on the McAfee Setup window. Click to accept the license agreement and hit the OK or Next (whichever you see there) button to proceed to next screen. If prompted to choose the installation type, choose Custom or Typical.

If you any other option, click it and hit the Next button. Choose the level of protection if prompted otherwise follow the on-screen instructions and hit Next. When prompted, hit the Install button. If you want the latest virus and malware updates to be downloaded and installed automatically and right now, hit the Update Now button. Hit the Finish button. It will go checking for updates, download and install them automatically, and finish the process. When finished, reboot your computer.

Your computer will automatically prompt you to reboot it. However, if it does not, reboot yourself after the installation has finished. When done, you will find a McAfee shortcut on your desktop screen. There will also be an M icon in your system tray. If you do not find the shortcut icon on the desktop, click on the Start menu and go to All Programs. You will find McAfee Security Center listed there, right click on it and choose Send To and then point to Desktop (create shortcut). Your desktop will have a McAfee shortcut.

How Would You Remove McAfee From the Registry?

Your system must be equipped with good and effective antivirus software to defend against online threats like viruses and malware. However, sometimes you also need to remove them if the subscription has expired or the software has become corrupt. In both the cases you need to remove the antivirus program from the registry. If your system is installed with the McAfee antivirus then it will not be easy to do this and you might need technical guidance. This article aims at letting you know about some simple steps with which you will be able to remove the McAfee antivirus software from your system.

Below mentioned are the steps with which to remove McAfee antivirus program from the registry:

1. The first step is to remove the McAfee program through the 'Control Panel' by navigating to the following path:

'Start' menu >> 'Control Panel' >> 'Add/Remove Programs'

After clicking on the 'Add/Remove Programs' you need to scroll down and find the McAfee Security Center. Now select all boxes for McAfee program and then select 'Remove.' Restart your computer after removing all the boxes completely.

2. The next thing you need to do is to double click on 'My Computer.' Now go to the McAfee program folder. This step should be performed only when you find that the McAfee Security Center is not completely un-installed. Double click the "\Agent\App" folder and select all the files with '.adf' extension. Delete these files and once again perform the first step mentioned above.

3. Consider downloading MCPR (McAfee Consumer Product Removal) tool from the McAfee website, if the above mentioned ways are not effective enough to remove the antivirus program from your system. Click on the "MCPR.exe" file once the download is complete. Once you finish the removal restart your computer when you are prompted to do so.

4. The MCPR tool will show you a red 'x' symbol if it fails to remove all registry items related to the antivirus program. In that case you need to select the 'View Log.' View Log will show you all the registry items that need to be removed.

5. The 'Registry Editor' is the last means of removing the registry items of the antivirus program. First open the 'Registry Editor' by typing 'regedit' in the 'Run' dialogue box that can be opened after clicking on the 'Start' menu.' Now delete every registry item you previously saw in the 'View Log.' Now restart the system after closing the 'Registry Editor.'

This way you can completely remove the McAfee antivirus program from your computer. However, the steps mentioned above are lucid enough but you may face certain issues. In case you do have problems in removing the McAfee antivirus program from the registry consulting an experienced computer support service provider is the best way out. The technicians they deploy for your service are highly experienced and are certified to resolve such issues online by taking minimum time.
