Make sure you've got whatever you decide to use dowloaded and ready to roll.

Disconnect from the internet, either switch off your cable modem or router, or more simply just pull out the ethernet cable from the computer

Uninstall McAfee

Install your chosen anti virus, and then re-connect to the internet when it ask if you want it to update during install(most AV installs do this), or alternatively, run through the install, don't update anything and reconnect to the internet once the new AV is installed, then go and update the new AV manually.
