I have just purchased a new HP Laptop from Tesco running Win 8.1
It has Mcafee antivirus pre-installed.
Is this a full program or trail for one month - I suspect the later.
Could someone please give the the removal tool for this?

Are you capable of typing into Google "Mcafee removal tool"?
'cos if you are it comes up with the link to the Mcafee site/tool as the first item0 -

If you trust McAfee (<chuckle!>) to remove its own software, then Control Panel -> Programs and features should show McAfee in the list of installed software. Right-click on the McAfee line, and select Uninstall.
It shouldn't be necessary to use a separate McAfee Removal Tool - since both the Uninstaller and the Remover were actually written by McAfee themselves!0
