Removing 3rd Party Icon from Menu Bar

Just switched from being a PC user for years to Mac. I have a 21.5 in iMac and I thought it was a good idea to install an anti-virus program, in this case McAfee security (Mac Trial Version). I did not like how I could not access some websites (www.cnn.com, www.yahoo.com, etc). I tried to drag-n-drop any files using Finder with the name "McAfee" into Trash, but the old McAfee icon is still sitting on the menu bar. To remove it, I tried the "Command key/drag off the menu bar" move, but it would not work. I tried starting the activity monitor and I noticed a file called McAfee reporter. Even forcing it to close does not work as it reappears on its own after a few seconds. Finally, I attempted to edit the start-up menu (Apple icon--> System Preferences --> Users --> Log-In Items), but the program does not exist in that menu. I also resorted to restarting the Mac three different times, and the dreaded icon still appears. It's not affecting performance, but I hate clutter and I want this icon removed from my menu bar. If anyone has any advice on this issue, please let me know. I have also sent an e-mail in to McAfee, but I doubt they will be able to help unless they are proficient Mac users.
