McAfee may not be so good against malware. Many anti-virus products don't detect things that you install, even if you didn't mean to. I frequently have to clean up client's computers where they clicked on something they shouldn't have that installed malware. They almost always have an anti-virus program running that I installed for them.
After un-installing unwanted programs, Malwarebytes is my next option. It seems to pick up a lot of the programs and registry entries left behind by these programs.
