Hi HP, i have a serious issue, my mcafee livesafe 30-day free trial that my hp came with is gonna expire today so i was wondering, will windows switch my antivirus to windows defender if my mcafee livesafe expires? Because i'm scared and i don't wanna get viruses on my computer which might possibly slow down my laptop. Please respond to me a quick as you guys can. Thanks.

I doubt your PC will just automatically switch, but if it doesn't all you have to do is click your mouse on "Windows Defender" and turn it on!

 

Start button/Windows Administrative Tools/Windows Defender

 

BTW, the best anti-virus tool you have is your own two hands!  Don't visit questionable websites, and don't open any links or attachments sent to you by unknown entities...
