Removal of McAfee from OSX

Note: This was written in 2015, it may be out of date now.

There are a lot of commands here which I use sudo if you don't know what you're doing with sudo, especially where I rm you can severely screw up your system.

There are many reasons which you would want to remove a piece of software such as McAfee, such as not wanting it to hammer your CPU during work hours which seems like primetime for a virus scan.

I intend this to be a living document, I have included suggestions from peoples' replies.

method 1

sudo /usr/local/McAfee/AntiMalware/VSControl stopoas

alternatively

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.mcafee.ssm.antimalware.plist OAS_Enable -bool False
sudo /usr/local/McAfee/AntiMalware/VSControl stop
sudo /usr/local/McAfee/AntiMalware/VSControl reload

Let's Encrypt

Examples of getting certificates from Let's Encrypt working on Apache, NGINX and Node.js servers.

Obtain certificates

I chose to use the manual method, you have to make a file available to verify you own the domain. Follow the commands from running

git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt
cd letsencrypt

These instructions are for implementing HTTPS on a NFSN-hosted static site using a certificate from Let's Encrypt. The certificate is generated manually on a separate computer.

Start off by installing the letsencrypt client. This requires sudo privileges and will install a bunch of packages:

% curl -O https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto
% chmod +x ./certbot-auto
% ./certbot-auto

Generate the certificate. This will require you to publish some challenge responses on NFSN. I find it easiest to use tmux with letsencrypt running in one window and an SSH session to NFSN in another:

An Alias to run Chrome with tracing enabled

For Chrome Canary:

alias hydra='/Applications/Google\ Chrome\ Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome\ Canary --no-sandbox --js-flags="--user-data-dir=/tmp/profile --trace-hydrogen --trace-phase=Z --trace-deopt --code-comments --hydrogen-track-positions --redirect-code-traces"'

For regular ol' Chrome:

	#!/bin/bash
