The above link is for the Mcafee removal tool. Download and run.

If you dont think it's removed it all, then
  1. GO TO c:\program files\windows\ and remove all files in this folder.
  2. Return to "Add and Remove Programs" in the Windows Control Panel, highlight McAfee Security Center and click on remove.
  3. Close all windows and restart the computer. Insert the CD and reinstall the McAfee security center, if necessary.
  4. If this does not work, run "services.msc" and set properties on all McAfee services to disabled and recovery to "none". Reboot computer and remove with "Add and Remove Programs"
Thanks, Glenn
Glenn,
Thanks for the information, but I'm a bit confused. Why would I reinstall McAfee if I'm going to install AVG. Also, are you saying run the removal tool before going to "Add Remove Programs"?
