how to completely remove mcAfee

So I have a sorta newish laptop that came with McAfee. I thought I uninstalled it but looking in the task manager: Image

When going to "uninstall" it takes me to programs and McAfee isn't on there at all. When I've searched how to remove it completely, I've seen articles state that it's hard to do sometimes. 

Any suggestions?
