So we check with procmon what he means with that GUI message:
C:\Program Files (x86)\McAfee\Endpoint Security\Web Control\scripts\TBD641B.TMP
Yes sure, write under a Folder scripts a File with TMP extension for uninstalling a product? No other Malware Software is on the System.
So we exclude that path? Not the first time MacAfee product a) falls over product b) If you don't keep them all updated to latest all the time.
Fail
So some times the Windows Installer is missing MS-Sources files because noobs clear up space on a machine and delete als Cached files. Well McAfee has that in mind and puts the MSI Files in a separate Folder. But thst also does not solve it.
So here are the MSI to catch that:
Remove > FAIL
Repair > FAIL
Turn of all Protection from Threat protection > FAIL
Uninstall Plattform and Threat Protection
Threat > OK > Uninstall Web > FAIL
Plattform > No Deppendcy
