Provide a Screenshot of the Quarantine.
Before you uninstall this, please provide a screenshot of the quarantine. I am eager to see. Refer to this Link: Take a Screenshot on your Mac - Apple Support
If you actually installed "McAfee" of course it should be uninstalled, but just be aware there are a preponderance of completely phony Notifications that allege your Mac is infested with viruses. These are scams.
Read Stop unwanted Notifications - Apple Community for a description and instructions for getting rid of them.
I agree. Mcafee is dangerous and should be removed using their uninstaller to completely remove it. It will also seriously slow down your computer and often causes serious problems. Please understand, Macs cannot be infected with a virus. Their operating system is write protected and cannot be changed, therefore it cannot be infected with a virus.
