Taskkill returns that access is denied, even with administrator and /F (McAfee) [closed]

I'm trying to delete McAfee from my Windows 11 Laptop, but I need to close its programs to do so. The only problem is, that the "McAfee Framework Host Service" (mc-fw-host.exe) task does not die, because "my permission is denied". I've tried using Task Manager, even in admin mode, and I've tried opening CMD as admin and using this command:

C:\Windows\System32> taskkill /IM mc-fw-host.exe /F

But then it returns with

ERROR: The Process with PID 7344 could not be terminated.Reason: Access is denied.
