    Why is this in the P2P discussion forums??

    Uninstall it in safe mode, here is more info on how to get into safe mode:

    Remove it from add or remove programs, please tell me the exact version of McAfee you are using as you need a special tool to remove ALL of it, after you've uninstalled :-D
