    Uninstalled McFee and used the Mcfee Removal tool, but Windows defender won't get turned on. There were some files under Real-time protection saying disable**** so I erased them but didn't do any difference either.

    Query about the usage of Windows defender in place of Mcfee Antivirus in Windows 10

    Original title: Mcfee Antivirus & Windows 10

    I had Mcafee Antivirus on my Windows 7 computer. I upgraded to Windows 10. Windows 10 notified me that I do not need Mcafee Antivirus. Do I need uninstall Mcafee? Is Windows defender as good as Mcafee?
