Uninstall
Uninstall is a utility app from McAfee (or associated security vendor) that helps users remove McAfee security software and related components from macOS. It is typically used when uninstalling antivirus, internet security suites, or other McAfee security products that do not cleanly remove all associated files and system integrations through standard macOS uninstall procedures. The tool addresses leftover registry entries, helper processes, preference files and kernel extensions that standard removal often leaves behind.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about a native Apple Silicon build of McAfee's Uninstall utility from the search results. Since this is a system-level security tool, contact McAfee directly to confirm whether a native build is available before macOS 28 ships in September 2028 — Intel-only builds will stop launching on that release. In the meantime, if you are running an Apple Silicon Mac and need to remove McAfee security software, check whether McAfee has released a native version of their removal tool on their official support website. If McAfee has not provided a native uninstaller by early 2028, consider using third-party app removal utilities like CleanMyMac X, AppCleaner, or Pearcleaner (which all run natively on Apple Silicon) as workarounds to remove leftover McAfee files and preferences, though these general-purpose cleaners may not catch every McAfee-specific system integration.
