Is there some conflict with McAfee and Google Chrome?

My McAfee antivirus will not let me use Google Search on my new Laptop. Every time I set Google as my default, McAfee pops up and says I have “Secure Search” turned off and wants to turn it on. When I click OK, it defaults to Yahoo.

I’ve been having other problems as well with Chrome and I don’t know if its Chrome or McAfee that’s causing the problem. I’m thinking about deleting everything tied to Chrome and reinstalling it. But this is a new laptop and I can’t believe that there is a malware problem because I have only gone to sites that I know.

Uninstall McAfee because it's garbage.
Oh boy, yikes! LOL

Well even though I have suspected McAfee of reporting false viruses when the subscription is up for renewal, I thought I might give it a chance since I got a free 1 year subscription. I just went through hell trying to get rid of the trial program in order to install the year’s subscription and I’m a little hesitant to do that again.

I just purchased Bit defender for my desktop which allows for 5 devices so I guess I could install that.
