My suggestions:

First - Remove McAfee (completely). Many have found that this program (and Norton) are not as affective as other products at finding and removing viruses/malware and cause your system to run super slow because they take up SO much of your systems resources.

Second - download AVG Free anti-virus. It is very effective at protecting your computer and does not take up much of your system resources at all.

Third - download Malwarebytes. It is free and is very effective at removing malware/spyware/viruses that many other programs do not catch.

Fourth - download CC Cleaner. This program is effective in cleaning/fixing registry errors and cleans out your system temporary files/cache.

McAfee sucks so bad that they (McAfee) actually issued their OWN removal tool for it. To totally remove McAfee (recommended), the removal tool link is provided below:
