    Okay, yes, I know I should put this on the Mcaffee help forum...but. Okay, I have no excuse.Anyway, this feature is disabled never set it up, I suppose and it says that I need to have my attention directed to it, is this dangerous I physically can't interact with it?

    Windows Defender and McAffee

    sadly not...I uninstalled the programme but there is a second item listed in programmes which seems to be an empty file, just a banner for McAffee LIvesafe asking me to update my subscription. When I try to uninstall that I get a pop up asking which file
    I want...but there is no option to highlight and nothing listed. I can't delete it through right click either. I've restarted twice and still have Defender saying I need to update Virus protection and Firewall through McAffee....

    Wondering if I should install the McAffee uninstaller as someone suggested above??

    Mcaffee Interference

    Mcaffee constantly interferes with Windows Defender, Core Isolation features are told to be turned off, McAffee breaks the Microsoft Firewall and replaces it with their own and it's getting annoying! I can never think I'm safe because every day I get a warning sign and I presume it's McAffee predominately overtaking that setting.
    Can anybody tell me how to disable the trial/and or stop them from intervening with eachother? It'd be greatly appreciated.

    Mcaffee Feature

    computer hang & BSOD

    3 dumps point to 3 different device drivers:

    • One blames McAffee.
    • One Blames your NVIDIA Virtual Audio Driver
    • The last one says your Intel WiFi network adapter
    I suggest completely uninstalling McAffee and using
    built in defender in its place for some time.

    The next step would be completely uninstalling and reinstalling both the above said drivers.
