kybunnies Posted January 19, 2015 ID:930704 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hi everyone, I need a little help/advice. I got my mom a new laptop from Newegg.com. It had some McAfee installed. I deleted via the control panel. Downloaded MS Security Essentials & MBAM (I need to purchase the premium for her computer). MBAM installed fine but when I tried to install MS Security Essentials I had a pop up telling me something about MS Security Essentials was part of Windows Defender. Can anyone tell me if I need to purchase & install an anti-virus or is one already installed. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted January 19, 2015 Root Admin ID:930726 Share Posted January 19, 2015 When you removed McAfee it should have automatically reverted back to Windows Defender which is basically MSE Please see the following article https://techingiteasy.wordpress.com/2012/06/08/a-quick-look-at-using-windows-defender-on-windows-8/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
