    Why is McAfee listed twice in Windows Security in the systray?


    In Windows 10, when I click on the "Windows Security" icon in the system tray, then click on the "Virus & threat protection" option, it lists my "McAfee VirusScan" twice. I know I only have one active license. (When I click on "Open app" under each of them, I get the same subscription page with the same number of days left).


    I'm concerned that I may be suffering twice the virus protection overhead...


    Thoughts?
