Summary
Use this article if:

  • You have non-McAfee antivirus products on your computer (for example from Sophos or Symantec) that you want to remove before installing your McAfee product.
  • You think that your McAfee product is conflicting (not installing, or not working correctly) with another antivirus product.

NOTE: If you think some other type of app or product is conflicting with your McAfee software, contact Technical Support.

Security apps from companies other than McAfee might cause a problem with your McAfee software. For example, if you already have other antivirus product installed, your McAfee software might fail to install or run correctly.

Why security apps conflict
Security apps perform ‘low-level’ activities as they protect your computer and scan for viruses. For example, one of these activities includes opening and closing lots of files in a short period, which might appear suspicious to other antivirus apps. The other antivirus apps might then try to block the activity from taking place, which might then stop your legitimate apps from running properly. To avoid conflicts, run only one antivirus app at a time on your computer.

What to do if you have another antivirus product installed
If you have another antivirus product installed on your PC or Mac, and your McAfee software fails to install or run correctly, follow these steps:

  1. Check the lists of incompatible applications by expanding the appropriate section below.

    NOTE: There are separate lists for Windows and macOS.

    1. If you do have any incompatible applications installed, go to step 2.
    2. If you do not have any of these applications installed, but you think a different application on your PC or Mac is causing a problem, contact Technical Support. If needed, we will update the PC or macOS list with the conflicting application.
  2. Remove any incompatible applications that are installed. See the instructions below.
  3. Restart your PC or Mac.
  4. Try to install or run your McAfee software again.
TIP: Most Windows or macOS apps can be removed in the standard way for that operating system. For example:

  • To remove a Windows app, use Control Panel or Add or Remove Programs. See the Standard removal methods section below for more details.
  • To remove a macOS app, drag the app to the trash. See the Standard removal methods section below for more details.

NOTE: Some apps need a slightly different method of removal. For those applications, you might need to contact the company who produces that app for guidance.

To view the known incompatible apps for your PC or Mac, click to expand and view the appropriate list:

NOTE: Only one McAfee Windows security product can be installed at one time.

NOTE: If you have a McAfee Enterprise product installed on your computer, such as VirusScan Enterprise or Endpoint Security, your McAfee Consumer product does not install. Our Enterprise products are normally used by business customers.

McAfee Consumer products, such as LiveSafe or Total Protection, and McAfee Enterprise products must not be installed at the same time on the same computer for the reasons described above. So, if your Consumer product detects the presence of a McAfee Enterprise product on the computer, it does not install.

McAfee security products for Windows (such as LiveSafe, and Total Protection) are fully supported on the following Windows versions:
  • Microsoft Windows 10
  • Microsoft Windows 8.1
NOTES:

CAUTION: Microsoft no longer supports Windows 7.xWindows XP, or Windows Vista. Your PC could be at risk from new threats if you are using any of these Windows versions. McAfee strongly recommends that you upgrade your PC’s operating system to a newer version as soon as possible.

McAfee support for McAfee products running on Windows 8.0 or 7.x is limited:

  • Windows 8.0, and 7.x
    • McAfee provides only “best effort” support for McAfee products installed on Windows 8.0 and 7.x.
    • The current McAfee Windows security products do not support Windows 8.0 or 7.x. Version 16.0.31 is the most recent McAfee Windows security product version to support Windows 8.0 and 7.x.
    • For details about Microsoft’s End of Support for Windows 7.x, see Microsoft’s advisory.

McAfee provides no support for McAfee products running on Windows XP, or Vista:
