  2. 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??

    Micorosft Account is missing from the phone -> cannot remove Reset protection!

    Thanks for your suggestion.

    I have checked in the link above and my phone is listed as in protection.

    I have all the step done with my SIM plugged in and network connected.

    I am not sure if it is an Insider build, how can I check it?

    Windows Defender and McAffee

    Thank you so much...I started to uninstall McAffee, then thought I had better check Defender which pointed me back to McAffee for Firewall and Virus protection.

    I'll take a leap of faith and uninstall hoping that Defender picks it up! Should I also sign into Account Protection for "enhanced Microsoft security"?
