Solved: How can I rid myself of McAfee?

[ewirman]

Hey-
I sure hope I not stepping on any body parts but could someone help me clear my machine of Mcafee? I'v uninstalled; deleted files; encryped files; rar'ed files and used several "erasers" and "shredders". Of course I'v terminated the "processes" they ALWAYS return. I'm using AVG 7.5 to protect my machine but I do not want such a memory hog and tenatious program a McAfee.

Pentium IV 1.5Gh
Windows XP (SP2)
80Gb hard drive
Cable IP connection
(what else?)

TIA

Thanks for the info, folks. I also found that the runnung of Registry Mechanic helped clean some of the items AFTER tryning your recommendations.
