    Do I need other Anti-Malware other than Windows Defender

    Depends which Windows version you are using.

    In Windows 7 Windows Defender is NOT an Anti-Virus program. Meaning you do need to install an Anti-Virus program.

    In Windows 8 + 10 Windows Defender IS an Anti-Virus program. Meaning you don't have to install an Anti-Virus program.

    McAffee and Emsisoft Anti Malware

    I personally use Emsisoft Anti-Malware and IMO it is far better than McAfee...

    If you decide to use Emsisoft, please make sure to fully uninstall McAfee with the help of their specific removal tool from this List
    of anti-malware product removal tools     before you install Emsisoft.

    FYI:

    I've asked a moderator to remove the best buy link in your post. If you want to buy Emsisoft Anti Malware then it's best to go directly to their site: emsisoft.com
