GO TO c:\program files\mcafee.com\agent\app and remove all files in this folder.
Return to "Add and Remove Programs" in the Windows Control Panel, highlight McAfee Security Center and click on remove.
Close all windows and restart the computer. Insert the CD and reinstall the McAfee security center, if necessary.
If this does not work, run "services.msc" and set properties on all McAfee services to disabled and recovery to "none". Reboot computer and remove with "Add and Remove Programs"
You can also go to www.mcafee.com and download an uninstaller. Which can be found here:

Go to the mcafee website and get their removal tool. Unfortunately their removal process was done wrong and it is almost as hard to get rid of as a virus.

One of the major issues with uninstalling mcaffee products is that it will not uninstall while services are in use.
Problem is, the uninstaller should STOP these services, and it doesn`t. It acts sort of like a virus :(
Anyways, Windows XP enables you to 'stop' processes yourself.
the simplest way is:
- Open Task Manager ( CTRL-ALT-DEL will get you there)
- Select processes tab
- select all mcaffee related processes and click "end process" - and click "yes" when asked.
- when all is stopped - you can try uninstall again.
Alternatively, you could try starting windows in safe mode - and uninstalling it that way.
It is a pain, but i managed to remove it, eventually

Start, control panel, add/remove programs, then you should be able to find it on your list.

If the install log,is missing, then the only way is to reinstall it, and then try uninstalling it again.
