Need help uninstalling McAfee and installing Avast

I'd welcome help from anybody. I've searched past threads (including ones I'd started) and see some instructions, but they were over my head. I vaguely know that I have to download (but not install Avast first). Then go to add/remove programs to remove McAfee. But then there are further steps to remove McAfee from all it's little hiding places in the computer. I think there's a McAfee removal program - or something - but I don't know if that does everything - or if it still leaves things that I have to manually remove. (and is there a link to the removal tool?).
I also don't remember if I need to disconnect my internet at any point in this proces? And if so, am I just unplugging from the router?
I will also need to do this on 3 computers - my desktop, my daughter's desktop and my ancient laptop in my office. So it might take me some time to do them all. I hope to start tomorrow on my desktop.
Also, any links for these programs - including current Avast version would be great.
Thanks.
Lynn.
