Windows Defender won't turn on because of McAfee Firewall

I have windows 10 and and my windows defender wont turn on cause they have mcafee virus protection in my firewall. how do i remove it from my firewall cause i keep getting virus's.

 

McAfee firewall turns itself off

I have a Dell laptop upgraded to Windows 10. I received an update on 2/11/16. Since then my McAfee firewall turns off on its on and I have to manually turn it on again every time.

It makes no difference if the MS Windows Defender firewall is on or not. The McAfee firewall just does its on thing.

McAfee told me they could not help because I was using a Verizon Hotspot. It isn't a public hotspot, it is my own personal one.

So kind of wondering what to do.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Windows Defender and McAfee

I have used McAfee for many years without any problems until 3rd March 2018 following Definition Update KB2267602.

Since then although the Windows Defender Firewall screen still states 'These settings are being managed by McAfee Personal Firewall'

there is a red alert on the Security & Maintenance Page that says Windows Firewall is off and needs to be turned on.

Plus on the same page it states that the virus protection is being managed by Windows Defender Antivirus when it used to say McAfee.

Any suggestions please. Have checked and McAfee clearly shows my computer as being secure but would like to understand why Windows Defender is suddenly showing these message.

Any help appreciated. Thank you
