I tried to remove McAfee in order to install Bitdefender security software. The McAfee remover just churns a circle and never finishes, I had to restart. Tried three times, even waited three hours, no luck. Also, Bitdefender won't install, still sees McAfee.

Personal note : With Windows' built-in Defender and the safest browser on the planet :  to me it feels like being in Fort Knox   !
