    WHY DOES WINDOWS 10 NOT WORK WITH McAFEE ANTI-VIRUS PROTECTION?

    It has come to my attention that Windows 10 is totally not compatible with McAfee Anti-virus protection. THOUSANDS of people are reporting when running a virus scan, with McAfee, after upgrading to Windows 10, the scan is unable to complete, constantly stops
    at 97 or 98% every time. I called McAfee, and they tell me Microsoft was to offer a download fix for this issue, but has failed to do so.

    Why is Microsoft not resolving this issue?

    It is not just a McAfee issue, as my virus protection worked just fine when I was still using Windows 8.1.

    I am VERY disappointed in Microsoft letting this issue go on. As for Windows Defender, it is rated the WORSE POSSIBLE virus protection out there. I would suggest no one rely on this to protect their PC.

    So, when is Microsoft going to send out a download fix, to allow McAfee virus protection to again work properly? OR, will they just ignore it, as they have so far?

  4. How to completely remove McAfee virus protection

    how can i remove McAfee virus protection that came with the Dell computer?

    I bought a cheap Dell laptop computer. It came with McAfee virus protection that I did not ask for. I tried to remove it several times when it was active and it would not remove. Now it is not active because I didn't pay the ransom when the "free" period
    was up. That is fine, except Windows Defender won't work because it says there is another virus protection program (McAfee). I have wanted to use the Microsoft Windows Defender from the beginning but now even though McAfee is supposed to be off, it is still
    interfering.

    SO, HOW do I remove this malicious piece of corporate malware?

    Thank you.
