We can get enough info to manually remove all parts of it...


EtreCheck is a simple little app to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac.

Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report...

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck.

Try looking in and maybe asking in the McAfee Mac forums, as a starting point.

There’s one might-be-relevent discussion over there:

https://community.mcafee.com/t5/Mac-Products/McAfee-removal-for-OSX/m-p/516766

Contact McAfee Support, if no existing or no new discussions gets you where you want.

Could be the installation itself is corrupt, or the removal sequence didn’t work.

Add-on anti-malware ties into an operating system much like malware does, unfortunately.

Failing that, back up, back up again, wipe and re-install and don’t migrate apps.
