Have you simply tried using the uninstall option with the McAfee app ... or go to their support site for removal instructions?

If you have already done both, and were unsuccessful, the I suggest running an EtreCheck report. EtreCheck is a diagnostics tool developed by a valued forum contributor. It can help with identifying and removing "persistent" apps. If you need help interpreting its results, you can post them here.
