    I can't do anything on this laptop right now. Does not respond. The answer to your question is: no, I did not try to uninstall it through safe mode, because there was no such need before.

    CTRL + Alt + Delete => task manager => processes => terminate process.

    If nothing reacts then you are turned off by holding the Power button.

    McAfee disappeared from the list of tasks to be completed for a moment and reappeared after a while. I clicked FINISH JOB again.

    Added after 5 [minutes]:

    McAfee Ul Host is on the Task Manager list. I selected it with the cursor and click FINISH JOB. Waiting for effect ...
