I might suggest that security suites like McAfee themselves becoming synonymous with Malware undermined the core concept of system protection ages ago.
Modern Windows based security protocols offer significant bloat with only marginal improvements in safety.
The bigger issue is that having your third-party "security" software betray you while using Windows is like pissing in an ocean of piss. The OS itself is spyware!
McAfee and other antivirus went full-on malware a long time ago. Sure, Microsoft was still collecting data from users, but it was a drop in the bucket compared to what they do in Windows 11 these days.
