I didn't uninstall McAfee, but I assume that once the free trial
expires, it will lie harmlessly dormant. Am I correct or nieve?

In my experience, it stays active after the "free trial" and
periodically nags you about the virus definitions being out of date.
It *might* conflict with whatever alternative program you select, or it
might not.
Uninstalling McAfee should not be difficult.
In windows XP or Vista you just go to the Start menu, select "Control
Panel" and double click the "Add or Remove Programs" icon. Vista might
call it "Add or Remove Windows Components" - I'm stepping through it on
an XP machine while I write.
That opens a list of programs installed on the machine. Select the one
you want to get rid of and it will have a button to "Change/Remove".
Follow the prompts.
