How do I uninstall the McAfee software that comes preinstalled?

I just bought a Vostro 5470 laptop.

How do I remove everything that has to do with McAfee on my computer? Thanks.

This is not enough. McAfee uninstaller is infamous for not really uninstalling anything. A small test I did revealed appx. 270 registry keys and 650 files left after "uninstalling"  (and restart) and 4 services still installed and registered.


I found these on Google:
