McAfee came with my new laptop and I already uninstalled all of it's components present in the uninstall programs section. But I later found that there are still McAfee services running in the back ground. Particularly McAfee Anti-Malware core/McAfee On-Access scanner service since it's drawing a fair amount of memory and CPU power. I went to services to try and stop it but all of the options were grayed out. After doing a bit of research I tried opening command prompt, ran as admin and used 'sc stop 'mfecore'. However I got the error '[SC] OpenService Failed 5:
Access is denied
'
I do I get rid of the McAfee services that are still left over and running?
Access is denied

Access the local VirusScan console by clicking Start-All Programs-McAfee-VirusScan Console. On the menu bar, click Task-On-Access Scanner Properties. Select the General Settings. Under the General tab, locate the 'General:' label. Ensure the 'Enable on-access scanning at system startup' option is selected.
