  1. windows defender mcaffee and norton


    I have mcaffee and Norton 360 on my computer.

    I have clicked over to windows defender.

    when I click on mcaffee or Norton 360 nothing seems to happen.

    do I still need them ?

    can I run them separate to windows defender?

    or are they now surplus as windows defender is all I need


    if I were to unsubscribe to mcaffee and Norton

    would my Norton safe search still work

    :)

  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??

  3. Windows Defender and McAffee

    I bought an HP laptop with both Windows Defender and McAffee loaded in Windows 10. Now apparently my "free" period with McAffee has ended. I understood that Defender was all I really need but checking the status on Defender it tells me that both the Firewall
    and Virus threat protection needs attention in McAffee. Can someone tell me what I need to do?

    Thank you

    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"?
