I'm personally not a great fan of Mcafee products. For a free antivirus the Microsoft Security Essentials seems to be effective and not too greedy with CPU time. However, if you are happy with Avast there's no reason to change. It will work just fine with 7.

The McAfee trial offer should be easily removable from the control panel 'uninstall a program'.
There a removal tool for McAfee on their site.
