I can vouch that it's hard to get rid of (It came with the PC). Even after running the uninstall tool, I had sporadic problems for about a month until I found a couple files buried deep in the system that were causing the trouble. I think McFubar should be classified as a virus.
Here are the DDS and Attach files
dds.txt
attach.txt
No, I didn't run it.
I wanted to wait for feedback from you about the attached files before I ran the cleanup tool.
Just in case you see something needed before running it
The folder wasn't there.
Thank-you Jacee, and Thank-you to everyone for helping with this!
Problem solved
Hello guys,
I really need your help with the same problem as DavidE. It's impossible to remove McAfee Endpoint Security Firewall, which is blocking the upgrade to Windows 10. I have tried everything, inlc. MVSUninst. I have read this thread from 2013 and have the two dds logs - dds and attach. Could you help me uninstall the program? I also have downloaded the MCPR, but when I run it it says that it detects Enterprise software and the uninstallation is unsuccessful.
PS Here are the two files:
You can do a Clean Install of Win 10 without upgrading first.
A clean install won't transfer any of your current programs, settings, etc. to Win 10.
You would have to re-install all your programs, etc.

You can also wait for other experts to help with removing Mcafee if you want to do an Upgrade install of Win 10.
Create a System Image backup before doing the Upgrade/Install of Win 10.
I use Macrium Reflect free for backup images.
