McAfee Uninstall Incomplete

Hello,
 
How do I complete the uninstall of McAfree which was supplied with my Inspiron 5100? I did the uninstall about 1 to 1-1/2 years ago. There is a residue of McAfee still in my system.
 
It is nearly completely uninstalled, except:
  • The windows explorer/my computer/local disk/program files still contains a McAfee.com folder [including McAfee.com/Agent/Uninstall]
  • In just the last few days the McAfee Security Center reminder has started to pop up to remind me to check for updates
  • On the list of programs which are included when my system starts up, McAfee programs were still included [I forget the Start/Run/... command to check if this is still the case today]
Other factors are:
  • When I start MS Outlook I get the error msg "cannot find ".../McAfee?.....dll [I'd like Outlook to stop looking for the McAfee dll file
  • [MS Outlook works well with Trend Micro PC-cillin, which monitors all emails being recd [in addition to many other features/functions]
  • On the Start/Pgm menu, McAfee is no longer there
  • On the Add/Remove programs list of currently installed programs, McAfee is not listed
Any suggestions appreciated, thanks
 
Bob

I had to do a complete manual search (including all hidden files on the search option) and manually delete all of them. Then I ran Cleanup! and it seemed to get rid of them. I also ran Hijackthis and got rid of some of their registry dll files, but be careful...
