How does one fully remove McAfee?

1 points by snappr_ ↗ HN
Recently I downloaded a pdf document in chrome, and a banner appeared at the top of the browser window saying that McAfee Webadvisor was scanning the file.

Interesting, because I did not install it.

So I go to add remove programs, and uninstall anything that I see that is McAfee related.

A couple of days later, the fan in my pc is spinning louder than usual, so I open up task manager, and lo and behold - the resource hog is non other than McAfee Webadvisor.

Question: how does one completely remove every trace of McAfee from a Windows PC, and ensure that it does not reappear?
