Default Window's 7 64 Upgrade VS. McAfee Enterprise 8.5

So last night I tried to upgrade to Window's 7, everything started smoothly, until I got into the compability section. I removed everything McAfee related and it still persists on telling me that McAfee Personal Firewall is still there and it will not let me proceed with the install. I tried a program called Revo, to go through everything and weed it all out, and still it persisted. I tried MPF Cleaning Tool straight from McAfee, I even tried there other tool to remove it, but its not compatible with the Enterprise edition. I went into the registry myself and removed everything manually, its like a disease, lol. So my question. Is there a way to force Window's 7 to move ahead with the install? I am getting frustrated, and was trying to avoid a clean wipe because there is just too much data to transfer off my computer at the moment. Something so simple that I never use anyway is holding me back from updating and I'm about to start getting creative in my deletions, lmao.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and I did search on google, and on every website, its the same useless info that I've tried and failed on removing the disease known as McAfee.

Yep. You have been warned.

Oh and I can't remember the last time I used mcafee. Hmmm.

Eset is stable and no complaints so far on win7 x64

As an update, I had to wipe the system, you can't get rid of McAfee, its like a virus, I manually went through and tried to get rid of every little line in the registry but there was always one more, I even tried to use the program you provided and it couldn't get rid of everything, I also used the tool McAfee provided still no luck. I ended up pulling all my data into a partition and wiping the whole damn thing and starting from scratch, in the end it worked out pretty good, I love Windows 7.
