You don't mention what software is installed but I'm assuming Anti-Theft so have moved the thread to that section.Īnti-Theft Support is available 24/7/365 here: Plus if it's McAfee Anti-Theft to which you are referring then Intel's Anti-Theft Chip is built in to the motherboard and needs software to control it and using that software affords protection against loss or theft but if you don't wish to use it, it can be disabled. It's the manufacturer of the laptop that puts the software on there as they believe correctly that some protection is better than no protection at all. Thank you in advance for providing prompt and thorough technical support. Please provide detailed steps to completely uninstall all traces of McAfee software from the PC. But McAfee should know what is factory-installed on this machine: My daughter is asleep right now and I don't have the password to her computer to get the details on exactly which software it is. I've read a few discussions in this forum about people having difficulty uninstalling McAfee software so I am looking for support before I even get started. ASUS and McAfee have abused my trust and soured the experience of giving this product as a gift. I can tell you I am very unhappy about having purchased as a gift a new laptop that had no indication whatsoever that McAfee was either installed at the factory or that it would self-install on the machine. She swears she did not subscribe and she is very disappointed to find out that McAfee software has been installed on the laptop. My daughter was using the new ASUS laptop I got her for Christmas when a dialogue box popped up asking her to allow McAfee to install an update to security software she supposedly subscribed to.
