Removal of old McAfee software

I have renewed my Antivirus program with McAfee and I am allowed to use it on three devices and downloading on another PC (Windows) was without problem.
Then I wanted to install the program on the brand new Mac of my son.

At first it looked smooth, but then I got the message that I have to remove an older version of McAfee on the Mac before the installation will be completed, and it does not remove that older software.
So I cannot install my acquired protection software.

What can I do? Any idea?
