I'm helping someone that just bought a Lenovo laptop with Win 8.1
I uninstalled the pre-installed McAfee anti-virus with:
- Uninstall McAfee in Programs and features
- Reboot
- Run the MCPR McAfee uninstall utility
- Reboot (many times)
With that Windows Defender shows it is running, but there is no Icon in the notification area.
Should there be an Icon in the Win 8 notification area, like Security Essentials in Win 7?
