  1. Mcafee is wanting to download renewal? I run Defender.


    Mcafee say my subscription ran out and wants me to download something. I am not running Mcafee on my computer. Says it is needed to prevent malware. I run Defender regularly. I just ran a full scan of Microsoft Safety Scanner and it did not find anything. This Mcafee screen interrupts any sight and will not leave.


    How do I get rid of it.

    :)

    McAfee


    Hi, when I bought this Dell Inspiron 15 5555, it came (No choice) with McAfee Antivirus. Now this is running out, and it wants me to renew for 2 Years (£69.99). So my question is, "Is this the best for me?" or what other alternatives can anyone suggest. What is the*package that most people use?*

    How about the *“Windows Defender” that comes with Windows 10? Is this good enough? After all it comes preloaded. (But not used if another Antivirus is running)!

    (Have to decide by tomorrow if I want their deal.)

    Windows 10, Windows Defender, McAfee Antivirus App

    My new HP Note Book came equipped with McAfee antivirus program. I kept it. Windows Defender is shown as being "ON". I understand two such programs should not run at the same time. I looked in my security settings and found that even if I were to turn
    off Defender, after awhile it would turn itself back on. This seems odd to me. What is the correct way (step by step please) to turn off Defender and keep it off since I use McAfee and will renew it?

    Thanks in advance for any help.
