Without root, you can't. The best you can do is revoke it's administration rights in menu/settings/security

Use a file explorer like root explorer, navigate to system/apps (I'm not 100 sure this is the correct folder) and just simply delete the apk. Reboot if you want and you're done. Or use an app manager like titanium backup and find the app and delete it.
mcafee support
Im new to the forum but have been following for a while. I contacted mcafee support and received an email from them asking for my email associated with the account, my imei number, the phone number associated with the account and a buddy number of which i sent the info and received a pin number from them. I then went to apps within settings, clicked on mcafee security and then clicked on manage storage. It then asked for a pin which i put in and low and behold afer about 3 minutes it now gives me the option to force stop and uninstall updates. :laugh:
Hope this is helpful to others that do not wish to root their phones.

Go to Settings > Security > Phone administrators and untick McAfee.
But I don't think this meathod will work to uninstall the app.
G3 help
Thank you. What phone number /email address did you use, specifically, to contact McAfee? I have tried numerous, but can't get to the right place. Can you put a little more detail here?

The Gift from Mcafee security app
In my country, Thailand, the Mcafee in LG G3 is not just app for virus protection but it acts virus alike. Mcafee will send SMS through mobile phone network provider automatically 2-3 times everyday since first time mobile phone activated. I was shocked from billing of oversea SMS from Thailand to America sent by Mcafee almost 50 times within 2 months without any notification or acceptable reaction from me. I had to stop all SMS sending function from my phone number to anywhere both domestic and oversea. only receiving SMS allowed. This was a special thing powered by Mcafee security app in LG G3 for loss phone protection. Thanks LG.
