Advice Request How do i get rid of this Mcafee process

[Arrabida Rock]

Some months ago, i installed Mcafee Cloud Antivirus but at the end it said that was unable to complete and would revert to uninstall...
Yesterday, i have been trying to install Mcafee Antivirus plus but i couldn't...
Some time later, opened task manager and saw a Mcafee process validation service...
Following images show more procedure about what i tryed to do to remove it...

Try using the official uninstall tool:

McAfee Removal Tool - McAfee Uninstaller

i also uninstalled mcafee from a dell computer (preinstalled) first using add/remove programs in control panel, then the mcafee removal tool (can get it from website linked by @Winter Soldier they link to mcafee site looks like to download the tool). I don't see any more process by mcafee in task manager, but didn't search registry to see if it left behind anything..

There is no error present there, is it a "Frozen" of was it a case of "impatience" ?
Try running the tool as admin and turning off sleep / hybernation so the pc stays awake
during the process, and let it sit as long as it needs. Sometimes cleaning a software like that
from the registry is very time consuming.

It stays there for hours with no memory/hard drive consumption!!!

Ok, the best I can advise is to contact McAfee support, they will help you remove it in a manner that won't
tear up your system. Seeing they designed the software they are the "go to" people I would ask, but thats
just me. Good luck brother

You could try it in safe mode, see if it works then.
Edit: or go with @_CyberGhosT_ advice

Why?

 

[Arrabida Rock]

Why?

• I only save the most recent backups;
• And i don't see any restore point from a month ago!

It's human to make mistakes and learn from them. Let's hope McAfee support solves your problem.

i managed to make that process disappear!!!
Finnaly, runned MCPR today and finished the scan as incomplete uninstallation!!! LOL
At least, that process didn't appear yet...
