Uninstall McAffee - Remove McAffee

Try to uninstall from Windows Settings first.

If stuck then restart computer and Download the MCPR tool. see --> here

If the MCPR tool gets stuck too (I got stuck at "Removing product MFP") then it's time to restart your computer in safe mode and to manually delete the McAfee folders in Program Files, then still in safe mode run the MCPR tool again, should do the trick.

Windows XP activation

open Registry Editor (Start->Run then enter regedit and push OK button)
open the registry key at the location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWPAEvents
edit the OOBETimer key value and set its value to "ff d5 71 d6 8b 6a 8d 6f d5 33 93 fd"
right-click on the same key WPAEvents and select "Permissions"
select SYSTEM group/user and check all DENY options (we won't allow XP to mess with us anymore, in fact we deny it firmly :o)
click Advanced button then uncheck "Inherit from parent the permission...", press OK, when prompted at next step just answer with "Copy"
in "Permission entries" select the SYSTEM then choose "Edit..."; check all the "Deny" permissions the OK+Apply
It should not ask you anymore for software activation. In fact you could run Start->All Programs -> Activate Windows and you should get an response message like "Windows is already activated". If not working then just try again, maybe you have missed something on the way.
