Uninstall it with Revo Uninstaller which you already have
If you want to keep your system healthy go through this thread:
→ Optimize Windows 7
You already have Microsoft Security Essentials installed but why McAfee?
Please uninstall McAfee and its components. They are known causes to blue
screens on computers.
→ McAfee Removal Tool
I and many members on our forum recommend Microsoft security essentials with
a great combination of Malware Bytes.
→ Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows
→ Malwarebytes - The Free version
→ Good and Free system security combination.
Run a full scan with both (separately) once downloaded, installed and updated.
In addition, Run this tool and delete anything it finds:
→ Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller
Run the system file checker and reboot if integrity violations are found:
→ SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
Now run disk check for your hard disk for file system errors and bad sectors on it:
→ Disk Check
Free up your start-up following these tutorials:
→ Startup Programs - Change
→ Troubleshoot Application Conflicts by Performing a Clean Startup
Nothing except your antivirus is required at start-up
Do the above and let us know the results. We'll do more troubleshooting if required.
EDIT:
Well all of the recent ones were just about useless to my experience, Koolkat may be better with them:). Two of em about 5 days ago were blaming a PCI ports. I would suggest you check those, and try reaseating the graphics card. On top of this driver nvlddmkm.sys : nvidia graphic cards is not verifies and or missing a time stamp. So at the gigabyte site i suggest looking for graphics card update for your specific computer. If there isn't, one i don't think it would hurt to run this.

*Will need java to run*
Thanks Kookat77,
I just did all you recommended and all is fine now. About the McAfee, I bought the computer with free subscription but didn't trust it as the Microsoft one so I decided to have them both. Little did I know the mess I was getting myself into. I hope others learn from this.
Keep up the good work!!
