Windows security center is a default feature with Win10, rather than third-party anti-virus software, it works just fine.

Windows 10 security is working better with the version 2004 update. Version 1909 had trouble letting old games through, and one had to manually let the games through protection.

How do you change the settings for the language I've got a problem in Windows that it's in Italian and not English. I don't remember ever changing it to Italian and I need to find out if I've been hacked. If you can help please do

[sujahitrudra]

I had mcafee paid version but I uninstalled few days back but it still has some of the files belonging to it. Now I am reinstalling, it says you already have it and says to replace. I clicked that and then it says to restart, after restarting it again says to restart. And I can't install it. Help me.
I am also facing Windows Script error 1, 1. If I reinstall windows and click repair, will it solve all the errors. What will happen to my apps and data? Dell inspiron 3000 series

Looks interesting. I've had McAfee as my anti-virus so I've had no idea that Security had all these options. Might have to ditch old Macca and go Security and Malwarebytes.

[meedman]

thank u very much i wonder where did u get all these beautiful wallpaper can u give me the link or something

[swethasree]

That's so true And from my analysis Am using k7 Antivirus software from last 5 years, till now I didn't face any problems or risks.

[MrMoonpie]

Hey buddy, thanks for the video. I had a friend who insists that you need MaCavey or Norton (sorry about spelling). I do not feel one needs these anymore and they cause more problems than what they help. Conflicts between the programs slow things down, what do you say???

Hello, in 6:40, I can't change the first option, says that only administer can change it, but i'm the only user here, can you help me?

[Allessio]

I didn't see my Malwarebytes in the list of security apps, although I have it on and it is totally real time functional. ?

[unnikrishnank]
