Should you decide to remove McAfee then whilst it should uninstalll using the usual Windows Control Panel Add/Remove Program applet, in some cases it does prove more stubborn and in that case you will need to use the McAfee Removal Tool which you can find in this list of AV removal tools.just use the one for McAfee to make sure that you get rid of it completely.įinally, McAfee comes with it's own firewall, and whilst WSA also has a firewall component it is different in that it requires use of the Windows Firewall or a 3rd party firewall, so you need either the latter switched on or the latter installed for more information on WSA & the Windows Firewall please see here. WSA is designed to be compatible/compliant with other mainline security application and practice that is true 98% of the time (only know issues are with BitDefender).īut I believe that you will find that WSA is lighter on your system resource, and also less 'noisy' when compared to McAfee, whilst giving yo that better protection. However, nothing prevents you from running both on your system for a while and doing a comparison as to which one you prefer/which one suits you best. Whilst there is no need to remove McAfee in my opinion WSA will provide you with much better protection. With these results in mind, it’s impossible to declare a winner for this category, seeing as both performed remarkably. Microsoft Defender also hit the sweet spot in its performance test to swoop the 6.0/6.0 marks from AV-Test. Just keep them if you know something as installed without your permission, or just to ensure something you installed is not in their databases. McAfee achieved the full 6.0/6.0 for its performance. (Currently talking to Webroot Support about this) Some of us were getting alerts and some of us weren't, but alongside this some friends mentioned Webroot wasn't a very good pick.
