I was required to install McAfee antivirus software on my Mac by an employer. When I finished that job, I uninstalled the software. About six months later, my Mac has started to freeze occasionally. I used the Console to find a crash log, copied below, which suggests that McAfee is causing this. Please could anybody suggest a cure?

    This page at SFSU may provide some clues as to what to do. There is an uninstaller script tucked away in /Library/McAfee/cma you need to run as root.

Two solutions are offered by this page in the McAfee documentation: https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB88461. The first solution is similar to the one in the link in IconDaemon's comment, and it didn't work for me. I have tried the second solution (boot in safe mode, and remove the listed McAfee files) and will post a comment if I continue to have the problem.
