• Updated comments, haven't been testing Powershell 2 so updated to show support for 3+ (it may still work in 2 but I haven't been testing in it and dropping support for version 2).
• Updated removing McAfee from taskbar (unpinning) if it was there after McAfee removal. Removed verbose output when deleting the MCPR during McAfee Removal.
