If you want to get McAfee's security program off your hard drive, and you use Windows 7, you have a problem.

You can go to START/All Programs and blip it. It stays put on the desktop, despite the fact that it disappears from the list.

You can look for Add or Remove Programs icon in the Control Panel. No icon.

Add or Remove Programs was renamed Programs and Features -- as usual, for no reason that any user might understand. It was probably because the earlier designation was clear. We cannot have that, can we?

If you want to get rid of it 100%, use this free tool.
