Do I need McAffee or Windows security is enough without it?

Question

I recently bought a Lenovo laptop with windows 11. I was told that Windows defender is enough and no other antivirus is necessary. But now I see that Windows defender is replaced by Windows security which includes a commercial antivirus (McAffee), which has just expired after a month's trial. Do I need to renew McAffee or get another antivirus? Or the other parts of windows security are enough?

Answer 1

I removed McAfee because it disables some features of Windows Security

Answer 2

mcfee support is useless

guy never answers a ? just goes off on a tangent

accent bad audio no answers

offshore tech support

37 years of at&t long lines lolololol unreal for this

at least the internet works

i got all the files and database removed took about 20 minutes with the MCPR tool

the link is outdated? i had to sniff around a bit

someday computers will do all this

Answer 3

Will that automatically happen when my McAffee free trial runs out?

Answer 4

""should be"" is not a very good technical answer

i see an option to leave macafee and have windows defender scan periodically

it sure would be nice to have an installer for win 11 instead of thousands of calls

to tech support, most of which are not good
