yes windows. I currently have Mac Afee subscription which i got from friend so i use it but i don't like the tons of false alarms it produce, and it does have inbuild VPN so i thought it's the standard now. I used windows defender before and didn't had any problems. So i guess i would have to rephrase it to just good VPN?
McAfee is useless and arguably malware. If you can find a way of uninstalling it (John McAfee himself recommended shooting your PC, yes the same McAfee) I would do that before anything else.
That is pretty stupid but far from inconcievable. Software companies try to jam "features" into their products nowadays even if it makes no sense, mainly to differentiate the 2024 version of the product from the 2023 one.
My suggestion is to not use any third party antivirus and use a separate VPN. Maybe wait for suggestions from other users. My Windows usage only involves playing pirated games once in a while.
Mullvad is doing ok for me, but it is more privacy oriented
