There is another program called SWI - Software Information for Windows by Gabriel Topala

http://www.gtopala.com/  both free and paid versions - free works just fine.

After the program runs the there are tabs/directories under Software called "Installed Programs" and "Applications" expanding these and clicking on specific apps may give you the name and location of the uninstall file.

 

I do not use anything but Free AVG for virus so not sure what will come up with McAffe.

 

The SWI program is stand alone and and to my knowledge dissapears after closing.

Try this removal tool from McAfee:

I echo Frank's sentiments. Unless you can find that hidden uninstall file, removing Mcafee 'breaks' the TCP/IP stack. The standard removal procedure removes a piece of code which is inserted into the stack by the install procedure but doesn't join up the hole left by the removal. i've lost count of the number of people who have asked me for help when they've come up against this trying to remove Macafee (sp?).


Good luck!

Good luck removing Mcafee. I found similar problems a couple years ago and had
drastic results removing it. As I recall, I found a hidden file for uninstall, and that 
did cure things here.

Hi All,
My net provider just gave out free use of Mcafee. I sometimes put the shack computer on line so loaded and set it loose. This really trashes HPSDR. Penny glitches to full power every few seconds. Cut outs in RX at all sample frequencies. Setting priority doesn't help. 
I'm real close to deleting it. Norton never was a problem. CPU is running under 10%. 
This could be the reason some users have more problem than others. frank
