McAfee Removal Tool

[Migration User]

We have some sites that are still running McAfee for their AntiVirus protection and I am looking at replacing it with Symantec.  Are there any McAfee removal scripts or tools out there that could help me with this process?  In theory I would like to push the uninstall and the install out to the clients via SCCM.

Thanks
