Your computer should have come with Windows Defender, but since it already came with McAfee, Defender was probably turned off. You just have to turn it back on. I actually think even the one for Windows 7 is called Windows Defender these days, but don't quote me on that. I haven't seen Essentials in a few years.

Will Security Essentials work with my new Windows 10 machine? The machine came with a trial of McAfee, but it's not very accessible.
