Hello everybody.
I have managed to pick up the following Virus "McAfee" which my Son says Isn't from MaCfee at all.
Downloaded "MCPR" which Is a MaCfee Software Removal Tool, but has made no difference at all.
For Years I have used Windows Security with no problems.
Is there a Free Alternative out their that will do the Job.
Any help please?
Many thanks
Paul.
Third party antivirus software each have their definitions.
All have rankings that vary month to month as there are false positives and false negatives.
I've been using Microsoft defender for many years and at times I'd used Malwarebytes for extra checking.

I have found Malwarebytes but it says it's only Valid for One Day.
Thanks
Paul.
Paul,
Who says?
If it's in dialogs that appear when you are using your browser then that is likely to be an attempt to get you to click on the messages [which could put malware on your computer].
When they appear again, please take a screenshot and post it here so people can take a look.
