Because the antivirus McAffe is a system app?

Hi everyone, I have a Xperia Z and I can not uninstall the antivirus McAffe Angry_Face

In the settings does not make me click the button uninstall, not even the button terminates activities Angry_Face

I would like to eradicate this antivirus and then install another without obtaining root permissions.

I am not satisfied with the fact that Sony has pre-installed in ROM a antivirus without your consent of user, maybe if you reformat the system will ask if I want to install the antivirus or even no, but.. i have to however reformat the system Angry_Face Angry_Face Angry_Face

Go to settings-apps-all,tap on the antivirus and first force stop and clear data. If uninstall is not available,disable it.

McAfee may have added itself as a device administrator under Settings -> Security -> Device administrators. In that case you may first need to disable the administrator before you can uninstall the app.
