Deleted mcafee and installed Avg

But the mcafee Icon is still coming up on my system tray on startup. I have went to the control panel and clicked into add/remove programs but it is not there so i am unable to delete it.Is there any other way i can clear it from my system? The microsoft update Icon is coming up all the time as well and i keep downloading updates but not sure if they are working. I think i have seriously messed up my Pc
