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?
