A McAfee Nightmare
As referenced in disinespic (.com) - New Malware? - Apple Community, I've had a lot of trouble on my iPhone and on my Macs that were brought on by the McAfee software I'd installed.
I deleted the app on two phones and used their uninstaller to get rid of it on three Macs. The "uninstaller" finished with a notification of what it had added.
It took some effort but in each case there were many parts left behind that I searched out and deleted myself. On the Macs I was unable to remove com.mcafee.CMF.networkextension.systemextension or com.mcafee.CMF.networkextension because I lack permission to access them.
Today, weeks after deleting all else, my wife's computer suddenly could connect to our wifi but could not connect to anything on the internet. After trying everything I could think of I discovered that McAfee VPN had enabled itself, creating the very issue I dealt with before. Its self-reenabling had been the source of my iPhone trouble.
On all of our Macs I discovered that each has hundreds of entries in the Diagnostics Reports regarding McAfee. So it's far from gone.
How do I get rid of this cursed software!!
