How to uninstall McAfee LiveSafe?
Good Afternoon:
I am relatively new to the Dell Community. Hello, everyone!
I few days ago, I purchased a new Dell Inspiron 15 5000 laptop. I expect it to arrive in about 2 weeks. The purchase included a subscription to McAfee LiveSafe (By the way, I think Dell should stop including such software, and allow consumers to clean install a security solution of their choice...or even simply use Microsoft Defender).
A few questions:
(1) What is the appropriate method to completely uninstall McAfee LiveSafe (control panel; a removal tool)?
(2) Should I activate McAfee LiveSafe prior to uninstalling the software? Or, can the software be completely uninstalled without activation?
I am quite concerned that if McAfee LiveSafe is not properly uninstalled, it will result in a nice, new Dell laptop being nothing more than a paperweight.
Hopefully, you can help me.
John
