removing mcafee free trial version

Hi all,
I'm trying to install AVG on my PC but it says I need to first uninstall the Mcafee files (free trial) .
When I try to delete the Mcafee stuff, it tells me I need permission from the administrators to do this.
What should I do? The Mcafee software has expired but its preventing me from installing new AVG protection.

Hi Michael,
We apologize for the inconvenience. We understand that you are unable to remove the McAfee from the computer due to lack of permission for uninstalling. We request you to reach the McAfee support team to remove the same from your computer. Please feel free to contact us for further assistance.
