how to clean/uninstall McAFee VirusScan

Hi, I am new to Mac. The McAfee VirusScan came with an installer but I dragged & dropped the application to the trash can and emptied the trash can since it causes a lot of problem with Mac OS. Unfortunately it still shows "virus reporter agent" in the acitivity monitor. How do I completely remove the VirusScan?

Thanks.
