You sir are the bomb! We just received a bunch of Lenovo laptops that came with this crap installed. The Intune uninstaller was so easy thanks to you! Keep up the good work!

Wow, been looking for this for almost 2 years now, FINALLY someone made it work. Fantastic, thank you very much!

Distributed the software via intune but made it a powershell script instead of a batch script with this single line:
Start-Process -Wait -FilePath “$($PSScriptRoot)\Mccleanup.exe” -ArgumentList “-p StopServices,MFSY,PEF,MXD,CSP,Sustainability,MOCP,MFP,APPSTATS,Auth,EMproxy,FWdiver,HW,MAS,MAT,MBK,MCPR,McProxy,McSvcHost,VUL,MHN,MNA,MOBK,MPFP,MPFPCU,MPS,SHRED,MPSCU,MQC,MQCCU,MSAD,MSHR,MSK,MSKCU,MWL,NMC,RedirSvc,VS,REMEDIATION,MSC,YAP,TRUEKEY,LAM,PCB,Symlink,SafeConnect,MGS,WMIRemover,RESIDUE -v -s” -WindowStyle Minimized

A great post. Unfortunately it doesn’t quite work. Pops up an error: –
LSP Uninstall Error
ClockDownUtility::CreateInstall_Auth() – 64 bit, failed

This is on Win10 Home edition, just reinstalled.

Hi Christian, firstly thank you for this but I am running into an issue, I cant seem to get the intune side of things to work/.bat file! If i run the command starting with .\Mccleanup.exe -p StopServices…. works perfectly via a powershell command but when I try creating the silent_uninstall.bat this doesnt even work locally? instead of starting with .\Mccleanup.exe -p StopServices for the .bat im using %~dp0Mccleanup.exe -p StopServices as in your example but no luck where am I going wrong?

Thanks in advance

Hello there, it doesn’t work over intune on version 16.0R30. i’ve followed all steps and all works but the intune. Any suggestion?

Hi Christian ,

I am desperate to try this option.

It doesn’t work for me.

Could you please tell us how you pack the intune file?

Maybe there is our mistake.

Here is our command (we do it in powershell):
.\IntuneWinAppUtil.exe -c C:\temp\KillMcAfee -s “C:\temp\KillMcAfee\Silent_uninstall.bat” -o “C:\intune apps”
