If you are comfortable in your registry editor, then I'd say yes:  go 
ahead and delete the key.  You probably already know, you should back up 
the registry before you do anything in there...

Would it be safe to use regedit and manually delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/McAfee and McAfee.com, then go to C:\Windows\Programs\McAfee then delete the remaining files? I know there are so many registry cleaners, however, I am too afraid to trust any of them as I have heard so much about some of them being malicious software. and to be totally honest, I do not believe any of the publications out there as I believe they are paid to say what is good and what is not good.
