Having purchased multiple laptops with McAfee pre-installed by the manufacturer, I think we all know that you cannot simply uninstall it. You must research it on the internet, delete certain executable files, and remove keys from the Windows registry.
Hopefully most of us by now have figured out the scam.
Like Dominion Voting Systems, Microsoft purposefully built an operating system which was incredibly easy to corrupt and take over. Supposed 'hackers' make virus to destroy everybody's PC. A large fraction of non-technical people simply would buy a new PC when their old one got taken over by viruses. And with every new PC with Windows pre-installed - Microsoft gets another license fee.
A huge industry pops up - Anti-virus. And anti-virus has their FAVORITE thing. The subscription model, where they get paid every month. Forever. Meanwhile, who would be the best in the world at making viruses? Well, Norton/Symantec, McAfee, Kaspersky. They would have the no-how. And the financial incentive to keep making new threats.
All of this shit is all designed to do one thing. Suck money away from the people, and funnel it into their hands.
It worked so well on PC's, they are trying to do the same thing now with the human body. They created the virus. Now the vaccine. Except the vaccine only works for a little while, then you are going to need a new vaccine.
Try being your ELDERLY family members ONLY means of tech support...Every time they call about it, starts with a 5 minute convo on where the START button is :(
LOL

The subscription model. They love that shit.
Well I was in my late 30's, but I did manage to uninstall it.
But I remember telling people at the time that McAfee Anti-Virus was far more difficult to remove from a PC than an actual virus.
Hilarious!!! ?
Make a bootable disk, wipe computer drive, start over
