Need help removing the McAfee Agent? If so, open up Microsoft Notepad, place the following code. Once entered, save as .bat or .cmd file. If you maintain multiple devices, put a copy on a USB Flash (or on your file server) so that you can access it easily from Windows Explorer. When executed, it will launch a Command Prompt session. You may not think this is important until you notice that McAfee is blocking Windows 10 Upgrades and future versions for compatibility reasons.
