The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81X800ENUS, ships with a 30-day trial of McAfee Virus Protection Software installed. It will activate automatically with the initial activation of Windows 11 and protect your computer for the 30-day trial period. You do not need to use McAfee VPS. You can uninstall McAfee and use the free Windows Defender VPS that comes with Windows 11 or you can uninstall McAfee and then install your choice of any compatible 3rd party VPS. The key is to uninstall McAfee if you will not be using it, as there can only be one active VPS on the computer at a time. Here is a link to information on uninstalling McAfee from Windows 11: https://service.mcafee.com/?articleId=TS101331&page=shell&shell=article-view
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you will need anti virus protection. No, you cannot transfer it to the new computer. The license agreement limits you to one copy of webroot on one computer. Jbc
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Anti-malware software is ALWAYS recommended, which is why Microsoft bundles its version, Defender, right out of the box, which is adequate for most people. As mentioned in another response, a free 30-day trial of McAfee comes with it as well. I have good experience with McAfee and recommend it, but it can often be purchased for less than it can through the McAfee website. Also, if you have an internet provider, check their website to see if they supply free antivirus. I have Spectrum, and they will give you F-Secure for free.
