  1. Do I need McAfee?


    I recently got a Dell XPS 15. I saw there is virus protection included in windows 10. With that being said, the lady that helped me at the store convinced me to buy McAfee security. I’m not sure if that part of her spiel but I can still return it. Is this needed with windows 10 or can I return it?

    QNAP Releases McAfee Antivirus for Turbo NAS

    Step right up, folks! Yes, now your QNAP Turbo NAS can feel as sluggish as your desktop PC with a new McAfee AntiVirus subscription. And let's not forget that false sense of security when malware walks right past McAfee AV without even a squawk.
