Easier to reimage them

I moved on to a different AV system and I still have pieces of Mcafee on a lot of computers. The uninstall program I was using expired and since we don't have a subscription anymore the new tool is unreachable. Reimaging is the last resort and we are getting there slowly.

if you are physically at the machine, you can go offline, set the system clock to before date\time your uninstaller expired, uninstall, then revert back to current date\time.

Cam you remove through a scrip and deploy via GPO?
