Remove McAfee from Task Bar List?

On my new Dell XPS8500 I have removed McAfee and installed my own preferred Anit-Virus (CA).  However the McAfee icon is still left in the TASK BAR List. How dow I remove this?  Any ideas.  Not critical but nice to remove this unwanted item.

    Did you use the McAfee removal tool after uninstalling?

    No but I have run the McAfee removal tool and McAfee still appears in the lists of Notification Icons.  (Though I choose to hide).  But having un-installed McAfee and run the extra tool this should be removed.  If I knew where it was in the Registry I could hack it out!

    You can try CCleaner to remove remnants of McAfee.
