Uninstall McAfee, stick with Windows Defender + Malware Bytes free version.

You can also try Avira free for some days to see how it performs.

Wow didn't even know this thread existed. Or maybe I forgot.
Anyway, looks like I haven't used an Antivirus since 2011, the year this thread was created.
I am surprised people still use Antivirus after Windows 10 have inbuilt defender.

You can leave quickheal,between eset & bitdefender try their trial version first to see which performs better on your system.

I use BitDefender & its good if you know how to manage whitelists, but it is surely a heavy application, esp for a HDD (even Kaspersky would be). Not sure how eset is now. As suggested, try their trial versions.

Consider it as a one-time loss and move on. Don't waste money on "anti-virus" softwares which score same or less than Windows Defender from the reports here:

*www.av-comparatives.org/tests/malware-protection-test-march-2020/

Also, don't pay for stuff nobody recommends to even use.

People fall into traps of buying overpriced crap in India. My father bought NP-AV in 2018 and then I had to fight with the shopkeeper for refund.
