Remove McAfee Agent saliently push to client form JSS

[sidharth_bhalla]

Hi All,

I'm just now looking how can I remove McAfee Agent(**McAfee Endpoint Protection for Mac.app, McAfee ePO Remote Provisioning Tool.app) and decrypt Machine from JSS to client Machine. There is any policy for this.

[dpertschi]

Typically you can use:
EPM:

sudo /usr/local/McAfee/uninstall EPM

Agent:

sudo /Library/McAfee/cma/scripts/uninstall.sh

And then pray that your ePO admins don't have a policy running to require a password to run the uninstaller. If so, you can't remotely run the uninstaller, you'll need to tear out the bits and pieces forcefully. There is a script floating around, I forget where though, called RipOffMcafee that will do that.

[thoule]

Remove McAfee version 4 & 5.

[ -f /usr/local/McAfee/uninstall EPM ] && /usr/local/McAfee/uninstall EPM

[ -f /Library/McAfee/cma/uninstall.sh ] && /Library/McAfee/cma/uninstall.sh

[ -f /Library/McAfee/cma/scripts/uninstall.sh ] && /Library/McAfee/cma/scripts/uninstall.sh

[ -f /Library/McAfee/agent/scripts/uninstall.sh ] && /Library/McAfee/agent/scripts/uninstall.sh

[ -d /Applications/McAfee Endpoint Protection for Mac.app ] && rm -rf /Applications/McAfee Endpoint Protection for Mac.app

[ -d /Applications/McAfee Endpoint Security for Mac.app ] && rm -rf /Applications/McAfee Endpoint Security for Mac.app

[ -d /Library/McAfee ] && rm -rf /Library/McAfee

[ -d /usr/local/McAfee ] && rm -rf /usr/local/McAfee

[ -d /Library/Application Support/McAfee ] && rm -rf /Library/Application Support/McAfee

rm -rf /Library/Preferences/com.mcafee*

launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mcafee*
rm -rf /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mcafee*
rm -rf /Library/LaunchAgents/com.mcafee*


killall Menulet
killall McAfee Reporter

FWIW, you can actually send the password required for removing the McAfee EPM components (if required by your EPO admins) in a script, using Jamf script parameters of course.

Here's an example of how with a script we use in a policy

#!/bin/bash

prdVers="$4"
passAV="$5"
avResult=""
avUninstaller1022="/usr/local/McAfee/uninstall"

if [ -e "$avUninstaller1022" ]; then
    echo "McAfee AV 10.2.2 product found. Removing AV..."

    while [ "$avResult" != 0 ]; do
        echo "$passAV" | sudo -S "$avUninstaller1022" "$prdVers"
        removeResult=$?
        if [ $removeResult == 0 ]; then
            echo "McAfee AV 10.2.2 removed."
        fi
    done
else
    echo "McAfee AV product not found. Skipping."
fi

/Library/McAfee/cma/scripts/uninstall.sh

exit 0

You have to pass the product, like "EPM" to $4 and the password to $5.

I believe the one issue with this is that it may end up showing up in the system.log, which you could clear up later if so inclined with a carefully crafted grep/sed command. I will have to go back and check on that, but I know invoking any sudo commands in a script usually end up dropping the entire command that was run after it into the log. It may be the case here as well since it's calling sudo -S

[ReuvenCohen]

mm2270: The script you provided works great except for the avResult variable. How was that being used to prevent it from running forever?

[mjbenn]

I found this script called RipOffMcAfee and then modified it to remove some additional extensions and framework for DLP.

McAfee can also cause InTune registration to fail when blocking untrusted certificates.

Hi @sdagley 

Thanks for the script. Is this script still valid or any changes required.

Looking forward for your replay.

[sdagley]

@smkarthickraja Yes, it's still working.

[smkarthickraja]
