Windows 10: List of Anti-Viruses working in Windows 10 TP

I've been using Bitdefender free for the last week and it appears to be OK.
Don't have to do much with it after installation unless you want to do a full scan.

It still might work but would have to be reinstalled. I think I'll keep WD for a while.

So I went to get McAfee Free Version and obviously downloaded it from the WRONG site, shame on ME. It was infected with Malware, Defender caught it while I was attempting to install it but didn't prevent it completely. I was getting pop ups everywhere on my browser.

I went and loaded Malwarebytes and eradicated the little bugger.

Sounds like Avast is working so I may try that one for a bit.

Every site is the wrong site for McAfee !
Why not skip the Avast and stick with the two who just helped you out of the mess ?

Avast 15 working normal on mine

Avast 2015 | Download Free Antivirus Software for Virus Protection

So did you have to apply any compatibility changes to get it to load? I'm running 9926 and the installer would not let me load the software.

I was getting that while trying to install Webroot on 9879 build. I followed every way in the book but couldn't stop the PCA from popping up. Posted that in a Technet area. Finally, after no responses one person stated to try renaming it. The normal file name was "wsainstall.exe" so I renamed it "wrsa.exe" and that worked. Didn't even bother to try the normal name with 9926 just renamed it, no problem again.
