First thing that I'd recommend is downloading two programs for use in the long-term:

Get AVG for your anti-virus software (it's free here)

Then.........download and install 'SpyBot Search and Destroy'

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html

Then, remove McAfee - and don't use it again. Install AVG. It is the best anti-virus on the market (has been for 10 years, or so).

You can keep malwarebytes, just run it separately from 'SpyBot'. (always search for updates).

I actually got rid of AVG about two months ago, after running it for years.....it started acting goofy and bloated.

I replaced it with Avast, and all seems good.

Do NOT use AVG. It totally crashed my computer. Their support tech was no help. Had to buy another computer.
