    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

    Anti Malware Software

    Do I Need Anti-Malware for Windows 10?

    That depends on your own preferences and habits.

    Windows 10 comes with in-built AV Windows Defender.
