My virus protection on my laptop will expire today and can I upgrade it today?
Which one do you have?
Mcafee
McAfee… You can uninstall it directly. Windows Defender is far better there…
Why shouldn't that be possible? It would be stupid if it weren't possible. After all, the makers of these programs want to make money. However, if you are using Windows 10, the integrated Windows Defender is sufficient. If you are using an older operating system, I would recommend Avast. The free version is basically sufficient. Ultimately, however, it is your decision whether you need the additional functions of a paid anti-virus program.
However, no anti-virus program will offer you one hundred percent protection. You should also always pay a little attention to which pages you visit and what files you download. Dubious mail attachments, for example, should also be avoided.
In addition, the tip to always select the user-defined installation when installing software in order to then be able to remove ticks for certain offers, which can prevent the installation of further software, adware or the like. This saves you a lot of work to remove all of the stuff. The browser settings can also be manipulated if this is not observed. If possible, it is best to always obtain programs directly from the manufacturer.
Well, it says your Windows support will expire soon and today would be the date
McAfee is installed on it so we bought it on purpose
If you really need paid software, you should turn to Kaspersky.
If you don't want to spend any money (and you don't usually visit that), uninstall McAffee and use Windows Defender, which is now one of the best free systems.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a long text, you really helped me
Hi, I'm from IT administration, better use Windows' own Defender, which is much better in your own system. The best protection is still a guest user instead of the admin. The best thing to do is to avoid dubious sites. However, most of the known ones are very safe.
Well answered.
I can only recommend this tool to you otherwise you won't get the McAfee completely away!

Windows Defender is absolutely sufficient in every way!
You probably have Windows 10 or I did that much better now.
In addition, McAfee strains the power of the laptop
or PC too much, we'll see everything runs faster afterwards.
