Hi ArthurRShurn, Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft Community Forums. From the issue description, I understand that you are confused between two anti-virus applications on Windows 8 computer. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Many computer manufacturers may have some promotional offers where they provide anti-virus disk with the product. If you use more than one antivirus or antispyware program at the same time, your PC may experience decreased performance, become unstable, or restart unexpectedly. I would suggest you to uninstall McAfee Security, as Windows 8 come with Windows Defender, which has been improved in Windows 8 to provide the same level of malware protection as Microsoft Security Essentials. Refer to the link: Uninstall or change a program You can also look for removal tool in manufacturer website. Note: Using Third Party Software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Third Party Software can be solved.

Dell forces you to have McAfee but there is an easy amazing solution. First, the problem: Dell obviously gets paid to put the obnoxious and ineffective McAffee program on their new computers, hoping you will subscribe. I just bought two new inspirons and was freaked out that a) I had mcafee and b) within ten minutes I was loaded with malware popups which mcafee didn't block. I guess Dell needs the McAfee money. THE SOLUTION.
Go to control panel/uninstall, and uninstall Mcafee 2. Now that you've given Dell the opportunity to use their terrible program and collect the fee, YOUR WINDOWS 7 and 8 HAS A DEFAULT PROGRAM THAT WILL KICK IN WHEN YOU REBOOT. ITS CALLED WINDOWS DEFENDER. ITS AN INCREDIBLE ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAM AND IS FREE.
I couldn't find info on it online but if you go to your action center, you will see that it has kicked in. I guess microsoft realized that windows computers picked up to many viruses and created this to fight them off.
I also installed Malwarebytes. Its a subscription program that got rid of all of the annoying popup malewares that mcafee had not blocked. So now, with Windows Defender and Malwarebytes (and Mcafee uninstaled, which i've heard carries viruses) my computer is really NEW.
