You can try the Mcafee Uninstaller.It's a shareware,unfortunately.:( .But free to try for 30 days.

Mcafee should have a removal tool, if not you're gonna have to jump to the registry and remove main components in there then it should come out....

here try this it is mcafee's removal tool.... www.mrtool.notlong.com
