What is the McAfee Agent Handler?

I am using a friends notebook and it has this McAfee shield and a program that seemingly does nothing at all. I can't seem to deactivate it or uninstall it. I was already able to uninstall the McAfeee security suite but this final program seems more tricky.

1.) what is it?
2.) is it useless by itself? (I removed the other McAfeee software)
3.) how do uninstall it?

Thanks


Some info about it:


"System Information

McAfee Agent
Version number: 4.5.0.1429
Managed"

To completely uninstall use Microsoft Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, rather than doing it manually.

would you link me to it?

How do I uninstall Office 2003, Office 2007 or Office 2010 suites if I cannot uninstall it from Control Panel?

Saw this on another post.

The McAfee uninstalled did not work because the software is McAfee Enterprise level.

The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility 7.2 did seem to remove the program from the list but when I boot my notebook the McAfee icon is still showing and the software appears to be running.

It's folders are also still here, but I cant see the program anymore in the add/remove

Try Revo Uninstaller.

If that does not work or leaves remains, uninstall manually. Remove all registry entries, delete all files and folders and remove startup entries in msconfig.

Revoe worked but the program still seems to run. I tried erasing the folders but I cant.

It is because drivers still triggers in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers...remove them by highlight the files .sys (they should name it McAfee), Then in registry locate the entry from the drivers name in (see attached thumbnail for the path). Don't mess around!:) Don't forget to remember the name of the .sys deleted!
