how to cancel pre-installed MaCfee software

[bj6708]

My HP computer was pre-installed with MACfee antivirus software, which has now expired. Every day when I boot up the computer, a MACfee icon appears asking me to renew the software, and I cannot delete or close it, which makes the computer unusable. I have already bought other antivirus software, so I want to delete MACfee. But I deleted it once, and the computer crashed and the screen turned blue. I spent money to find a professional to restore it to its original state, but MACfee still dominates the screen. I don't know what to do.

Getting rid of MacAfee software has been a problem.  Here is a guide

Follow that guide or you can jump directly to this part.

You can also uninstall McAfee using the McAfee Consumer Product Removal tool (MCPR).

You should note that McAfee recommends using Windows uninstall as a preferred option, and only using MCPR if this hasn't worked.
