McAfeeKiller

A quick and dirty solution to gracefully terminate all McAfee "anti-virus" services running on your machine.

Concept of operation

  • Installs as a service (so that it has optimal permissions)
  • Enumerates all processes containing McAfee in the vendor or version information.
  • Injects a DLL which contains only one function: exit(0);
  • Tells the McAfee process to call its shiny new function.
  • Glory! 🎂
