How to remove McAfee from my computer

Hi,
I have a Compac Presario with Windows Vista. I recently installed the 11th version of McAfee that was passed on to me by a co-worker. When I tried to install it I had some trouble because it did not appeared installed in my computer's application and no shortcuts were created in my desktop. I recently purchased a new anti-virus program. I uninstalled what apeared on my programs as McAfee but a folder remained that said Viruscan. Inside that folder to items remain one that says "mcods" and another that says "mcodsax.dll". When I try to delete these items it says that it cannot be done because it's being used by another program. How can I delete these program so that I can run the new anti-virus program I bought.

 

You can delete them in safe mode.In safe mode there is no needing for antivirus or firewall,so you can delete mcafee folder easy.
After that run CCleaner to clear registry.

 

Use the McAfee Removal Tool. I use it fairly regularly with excellent results.
