McAfee can't be deleted, even though I'm administrator

So I'm the only administrator on my PC, I just want to delete McAfee but there is no way. Apparently, an "administrator" refuses that I run any uninstalling program linked to McAfee, whether it's MCPR or just any uninstall.exe of McAfee.

How come I have zero control in this even when running uninstall.exe as administrator ?

Here is the french version of the message:

"This application was blocked for your protection.

An administrator has refused the execution of this application. For more informations, contact the administrator (who is this ? I'm alone on this PC).

Uninstall.exe

Editor: Unknow (While they know the editor in the list of program so that's non sense)
Location of the file: "C:\Program Files(x86)\McAfee\SiteAdvisor\Uninstall.exe"
Display informations on the editor's certificate (which is just a blue text since clicking on it doesn't do anything)."

And I get the exact same message for any McAfee product on my computer, whether I try to delete them from the configuration panel or by hand running uninstall.exe as administrator. This includes MCPR.

You need to go to McAfee and get their uninstalling software.

Which is called McAffee Consumer Product Removal, or MCPR, and as I said in my question I get the same message when I try to run it.
