Then, I decided to call McAfee support, as I still need to remove it.

Well, at least, I know that some Exception occurred. > As you guys can imagine, this line means so much for me, as it would mean for a monkey. 17:52:39:711 00001728 ATESCheck:Intel::ATES::Check::GetIsvBlobInternal: MeiAccessException occured with reason=0:Response: 0x1 returned completion code: 0x2 ATESCheck.log looks, for me, the most related log with the uninstall process, as, everytime that I hit the 'uninstall' button, I get a new line there.Īnd the line states, for each time I've tried to remove Anti-theft: Checking several discussions on this site, I've found some guys from McAfee support, willing to help, asking for logs from MCSLOGS (at ProgramData). > No explanations, no symptoms or evidence to look at, that could justify the abortion.

That's being said, I couldn't believe that a product made in 2013 by a company as famous as McAfee could cause so much trouble for its users.Ī quick search on Internet can bring pounds of blog articles, discussions, and reports from frustrated users that made the big mistake to trust their computer integrity to McAfee Anti-theft.Īnd I'm another fool user, that have gave it a chance.
