I can't install McAfee 8.8 on Windows 10. Anybody have a same experience like me?

As I writed in this article. McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.8 is not supported in Windows 10 until Patch 6 is released!
Because of this is the installation blocked until the patch is released!
There is workaround for test purpose but it is not recommended because the VSE 8.8 is not supported Windows 10!

Can I be more clear?

I only trust McAfee as my AV. McAfee is the best AV than others, so i love McAfee.

When i realize McAfee don't have support from Windows 10, my heart feel so broken.

Would you suggest me the best AV that equal with McAfee, because i don't trust any AV except McAfee.

Thanx before

Well, you don't need not give up from McAfee... as stated in Pez's first post, Patch 6 will be released before the end of current Month and (I hope) We will have it (at SCforum) few days later.

...

Regarding your second question, in SCforum's Anti-Virus area you have few recommended Free AV solutions (Avast, Avira, AVG, etc.): http://scforum.info/index.php/board,10.0.html

...and here you have "The Best AntiVirus" Topic (and Voting poll) with a lot of useful comments from SCforum's members (started in 2007.): http://scforum.info/index.php/topic,100.0.html

Stick with Windows Defender for a while, it's pretty decent if you know what are you doing with your PC
