    McAfee Consumer Product Removal Tool 7.6.133.0

    How to uninstall or reinstall supported McAfee products using the Consumer Products Removal tool (MCPR)

    Environment
    Affected Suites:McAfee AntiVirusPlus
    McAfee Family Protection
    McAfee Internet Security
    McAfee Online Backup
    McAfee Total Protection
    McAfee LiveSafe

    Affected Operating Systems:Microsoft Windows 8, 8.1
    Microsoft Windows 7
    Microsoft Windows Vista
    Microsoft Windows XP


    IMPORTANT:
    • DO NOT download and save MCPR for future use. MCPR is updated periodically as new products are released, and running an older version might cause problems with new products. ALWAYS return to this article and download MCPR again when you need to run it.
    • You must uninstall your McAfee products using the Windows Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP) or Programs and Features (Windows 8, 7 and Vista) before you run MCPR. Otherwise, the number of your licenses might be incorrectly counted.

      If you cannot uninstall successfully using Windows Add/Remove Programs, or you have already run MCPR without uninstalling, you can access your McAfee account and deactivate the license for your computer to ensure that the license is released for a later installation. Do the following to deactivate a license from your current McAfee subscription and release the license for use with a different computer:
