  1. Is McAfee pre-installed on windows?


    I was looking in program files and I saw files for McAfee. But I don't think McAfee is installed on the computer (nothing appears in the bottom right, only Norton is there) but I saw some McAfee processes in the task manager (like: McAfee firewall). So, does McAfee come pre-installed?

    How do I find the pre-installed McAfee to sign up if I skipped it?


    I have a brand-new Dell 13 Inspirion 7000 with Windows 10 from Costco.

    Upon starting the computer for the very first time I went through Dell Welcome screens. One asked me to signup for McAfee LifeSafe. As I had heard so many negative things about this software, I skipped the sign up. Then I read at the McAfee site that I have to sign up in order to uninstall.

    So now I want to sign up and I can't find it anywhere?! I have looked at the programs available for uninstall and it is not listed. I chatted with Dell tech support and they say it's not on my computer. I go to the Dell site and they make it clear that the software is pre-installed?!!!!

    Go figure. So. Could someone please tell me where to go in this computer to find the McAfee signup?
