The Lenovo IdeaPad S340-15 Laptop, model number 81QG000DUS, ships with a 30-day trial of McAfee Virus Protection software installed, which will activate with the initial activation of Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System. You do not need to use McAfee. You can install any 3rd party virus protection software or use the free Windows Defender virus protection that comes with Windows 10. Just uninstall McAfee before you add or change your virus protection settings. Here is a link to information on uninstalling McAfee from Windows 10: https://service.mcafee.com/webcenter/portal/oracle/webcenter/page/scopedMD/s55728c97_466d_4ddb_952d_05484ea932c6/Page29.jspx?wc.contextURL=%2Fspaces%2Fcp&articleId=TS101331&_afrLoop=1355161020222084&leftWidth=0%25&showFooter=false&showHeader=false&rightWidth=0%25¢erWidth=100%25#!%40%40%3FshowFooter%3Dfalse%26_afrLoop%3D1355161020222084%26articleId%3DTS101331%26leftWidth%3D0%2525%26showHeader%3Dfalse%26wc.contextURL%3D%252Fspaces%252Fcp%26rightWidth%3D0%2525%26centerWidth%3D100%2525%26_adf.ctrl-state%3Dx25crirbo_9
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.With the S mode on the windows, you can not install Webroot.....but don't be alarmed. You can disable the S mode. Someone gave a link on how to that in another question. I took mine in and the Best Buys Geek Squad disabled the S mode within minutes.
