Question Best way to remove Mcafee AV

I need to uninstal a version of McAfee AV from a laptop and just wondered if there's any particular 'best' way to remove it or is a straight forward uninstal via add/remove software ok?
Any advice appreciated.

Re: Best way to remove Mcafee AV

Just via Add/Remove Programs should be fine... never had any issues personally. For installation on a single-machine, this should be fine. If you had to remove it from multiple machines, then you could use their ePO tool to do it, but this is overkill for what you'll be doing.

I had my PC back from the 'shop' where they were installing a new HD for me.They installed this AV but I already had a better AV so I wanted to uninstall MacFee..it was so easy and I had no problems when I installed my favoured AV in it's place.

Re: Best way to remove Mcafee AV

Thank's guys. I always find installing/uninstalling stuff a bit of a 'brown trouser' job. I'm not much of a techie.
