Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community Forums.

Its seems that you had installed McAfee Security program from Windows Store and now you have already uninstalled it from the computer and still you get the notification from the Windows Store to install the updates for the McAfee program which is already removed from the computer, even after disabling the update notification in Windows Store. I would like to have some information regarding this.

How did you uninstall the McAfee program from the computer? Was it done from “Programs and Features” utility in Windows 8?

Let me inform you that, if we uninstall any security program from the “Programs and Features” utility. The complete program will not be removed from the computer. There will be still some program components of files existing it the computer. So, in order to remove the complete program from the computer, we need to run a specialized tool from the Security program manufacturer’s website.

So, I would suggest you to download the McAfee Removing Tool from the McAfee website and then run it on the computer to remove all the components of the McAfee Security program from the computer and then check if that resolves the issue. You may either contact the McAfee Support from the given link or you may search for the tool from McAfee website.
