*** UPDATED Dec 19 2020 with Updated Tool ***
Our copies of the MCPR have expired and we can’t get new ones. The MCRP is the CONSUMER version of the uninstaller and will not help with Enterprise McAfee products. Sooo, there are three solutions to removing old McAfee corporate products:
- Set the date back to September 2020 on the computer in question and then download and run our SEPT 2020 MEPR (more at the bottom of this page)
- Download the ESET AV Removal Tool directly from us HERE (64 bit Windows) or from ESET directly as they claim it will remove McAfee Enterprise
- Call McAfee and beg that the support tech takes mercy on you and gives you a copy of MEPR.
If you have a McAfee product that is stuck on your computer, there is a tool that McAfee developed to solve the problem. The McAfee Endpoint Product Removal tool will forcibly remove:
- McAfee Agent
- McAfee VirusScan Enterprise
- McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention
- McAfee SiteAdvisor Enterprise
- McAfee Data Loss Prevention
- McAfee Active Response
- McAfee Endpoint Security
- McAfee DAT Reputation
- McAfee Client Proxy
- MVISION Endpoint
- McAfee Policy Auditor Agent
- McAfee Endpoint Intelligence Agent
- McAfee File and Removable Media Protection
- McAfee Management of Native Encryption
- McAfee Drive Encryption
- McAfee Application and Change Control
- McAfee Data Exchange Layer
This McAfee uninstaller should not be confused with the much less powerful McAfee Consumer Product Removal (MCPR) Tool which only deals with consumer grade software. Both of these tools were written by McAfee and not us.
If you think you have a McAfee that is partially uninstalled and the McAfee Endpoint Product Removal tool shows UNDETECTED, put a check mark beside it and the tool will try to:
- Stop running McAfee Services
- Change file / folder and registry permissions back to default
- Delete McAfee related files, folder and registry entries
We have found this tool to be very helpful in dealing with McAfee products that were installed manually, through scripts and SCCM and through integrated products like Dell’s Endpoint Security bundle.
You can:
- download the Dec 2020 McAfee CONSUMER Product Removal Tool directly from us HERE.
- download the Sept 2020 McAfee Endpoint Product Removal Tool directly from us HERE.
- download the March 2019 McAfee Endpoint Product Removal Tool directly from us HERE.

Hi Leme;
That site was a bit dodgy so I registered, downloaded the files, unzipped them, scanned them with 3 different tools, rezipped them and posted it at the bottom of this article (with full credit to you)
Thanks!

do you have new remover?
Ian Matthews · June 22, 2020 at 5:43 pm
Hi Micheal;
We do not. If you have an updated tool, please send it to us (FTP or a link) and we will post it.
Thanks.

Thanks. The MEP removal tool still works if you changed the clock back to March 2019!!! But it was not totally clean, the system tray is still there. You can then run the MCPR to clear it. THANKS A LOT.

I have a laptop that I got used several years ago that has McAfee Drive Encryption on it and it gives me a key and wants a response to let me get into it. I just want to remove it completely so I can use the laptop. Is there another version of this program that can do this? It boots up to this and won’t let me get into Windows or anything else.
Ian Matthews · March 22, 2020 at 8:46 am
Sorry Brandon; This is all we have. Two ideas:
1: You could call McAfee support and ask them for an uninstaller – I have INFREQUENTLY had success dealing with them without an active license
2: You could wipe or replace the drive and install Windows 10 for free – Scroll down to the bottom 9 instructions on : https://www.urtech.ca/2019/10/sovled-how-to-legally-install-windows-10-using-windows-7-product-key/
I hope this helps.

I know this is an old post but I wanted to thank you, for hosting the removal tool because McAfee stinks, and to thank Andy for the pointer to NirCMD and the RunAsDate — I now have a way to remove McAfee EPO from about a couple hundred computers that refuse to update because of McAfee’s incompatibility.
Ian Matthews · March 13, 2020 at 12:20 pm
Yes, I agree. We used to love McAfee products but they have been so fat, intrusive and slow, even in the corporate range, we have now moved 100% of our customers to different products.
ClearHeatVision · October 13, 2019 at 12:28 am
What Andy June 20, 2019 at 8:52 am said helped. That Nircmd software is nifty!
Irenee irambona · October 1, 2019 at 2:09 am
Hello guys, I am now using this tool but I got this error msg: This operating systemis not supported by EPR. My OS is windows 7. I need your help to resolve this. Thanks
Ian Matthews · October 1, 2019 at 3:13 pm
Hi Irenee;
I know this does not directly help, Windows 7 is End of Life and has no support from Microsoft after January 2020 so I would suggest you wipe the machine and upgrade to Windows 10, which you can still do for free as we explain here https://www.urtech.ca/2019/10/sovled-how-to-legally-install-windows-10-using-windows-7-product-key/

Product showing Expired
Mark Lindell · July 4, 2019 at 5:49 pm
The removal tool software has advised that it has expired. Today is July 4th, 2019.
Ian Matthews · July 12, 2019 at 3:56 pm
Well that is not surprising I suppose. The way around this would be to set your PC date to something between January and June 2019 and then run the tool.
gonzagued · July 4, 2019 at 8:23 am
if it doesn’t wanna run , just change the system date to April 2019
santoro · July 1, 2019 at 11:00 pm
Hi, i think this version has already expired, do you have the latest version of ePO product removal tool?
Ian Matthews · July 12, 2019 at 3:58 pm
Well that is not surprising I suppose. The way around this would be to set your PC date to something between January and June 2019 and then run the tool.
Andy · June 20, 2019 at 8:52 am
This solved my problem! Thanks for sharing. One tip, the licence had expired, so I used the Nircmd runasdate application to run for March 2019. It worked a treat.
John Carlo Palmeda · May 6, 2019 at 10:51 pm
Thank you for this! Really solved our headache with removing manually McAfee EP on one of our computer.
Tester · April 24, 2019 at 7:55 am
Is there silent switches for this tool??
Ian Matthews · April 30, 2019 at 6:57 pm
Not that I am aware of. After playing with this for a while, I just manually ran it (as an Admin) on the PC’s with McAfee problems.
Christopher · March 7, 2020 at 1:52 am
As for the switches, you can run it with –accepteula and –all to run it silently.
EPRTool.exe –accepteula –all (two dashes), works like a dream. Be aware – this *will* force a reboot.
