Hi, HARRYSTEWART
Microsoft Defender , is an excellent product that provides security.
I suggest you do this step:

Thank you for your input, Deleted. However, the original user, HARRYSTEWART , specifically requested assistance with setting up McAfee. It is important to address his specific needs and not redirect him to a different product without his consent. Furthermore, it is worth noting that HARRYSTEWART has described himself as "non-tech" and thus is unsure how to navigate the process on his own.
While I agree that Microsoft Defender is an excellent product, he has already purchased a license for McAfee and is seeking help in activating it. Therefore, it would be more helpful to point him in the direction of resources that can aid him in setting up the product he requested help with rather than providing instructions on how to remove McAfee.

So removing this product is the best development in my opinion!
Frequent notifications that bother if you have not configured all the security for 18 months is the best time -> to get rid of it.

Thank you for your response, Deleted. I understand your point of view, but it is important to remember that the original user specifically requested assistance with setting up McAfee. While we all have our own preferences when it comes to security products, it's important to focus on the original user's specific needs and provide helpful guidance accordingly. As he has already purchased a license for McAfee and is seeking help with activating it, I believe the best course of action would be to direct him to support resources that would allow him to make use of the product he has chosen to purchase.
It's possible that you may have misinterpreted the original user's statement 'my problem is with McAfee !!'. The original user is having trouble activating the software rather than expressing dislike for it. That's why our focus should be on helping the original user with their specific issue, which is activating their McAfee license. If you have any advice on how to assist with the activation process, please feel free to share it. Otherwise, let's keep our attention on the original user's needs.
HARRYSTEWART, would you prefer assistance with setting up your McAfee license, as you originally requested, or would you like advice on alternative antivirus software like Microsoft Defender? Your preference is important in helping us provide the best possible support for you. Could you please let us know which option you prefer? Thank you!
