does the Mac book comes with mcafee software null

The Macs come with security software built into the operating system. [from Apple's security page] Apps from both the App Store and the internet can be installed worry-free. App Review makes sure each app in the App Store is reviewed [by Apple] before it’s accepted. Gatekeeper on your Mac ensures that all apps from the internet have already been checked by Apple for known malicious code — before you run them the first time. If there’s ever a problem with an app, Apple can quickly stop new installations and even block the app from launching again. Technologies like XD (execute disable), ASLR (address space layout randomization), and SIP (system integrity protection) make it difficult for malware to do harm, and they ensure that processes with root permission cannot change critical system files.

No. You may not need an antivirus software on your apple laptop. If you connect to unsecured wifi regularly then just use a VPN and you should be fine,
