Removing McAfee SafeConnect #26

Closed jamie8johnson closed 9 months ago

jamie8johnson commented 9 months ago

FYI, to remove McAfee SafeConnect in Debloat, I had to run the command:

start-process "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache{1d4027d4-d88e-4514-8e61-0ad4d485ba85}\McAfeeSafeConnect.exe" -ArgumentList "/uninstall"

Thank you, is the app ID the same across devices?

jamie8johnson commented 9 months ago

Yes. I found it by running through the registry uninstall strings. It's the same on two of my endpoints so far.

McAfee detection wouldn't return compliant until SafeConnect was gone.

andrew-s-taylor commented 9 months ago

I've added it to 4.1.6

jamie8johnson commented 9 months ago

I found some different app ID's on a few endpoints, so this needs to be done with a loop through the uninstall strings, unfortunately. The name to find is just "McAfee Safe Connect"

andrew-s-taylor commented 9 months ago

I've added that into the latest version
