Question

I am new to antivirus software. May I assume that if I install Avast One Silver I will be able to uninstall the Mc
Afee software with no problems? Sorry for thd ignorant question.

Uninstalling other antivirus software

Installing another Antivirus Whilst another is installed could bring conflicts - so it would be best to disable McAfee or set it into Passive mode if it has such a thing just before downloading the Avast One installation file and and then installing Avast One.

I have never used McAfee or Avast One (Avast Free Antivirus user) so I can’t speak from personal experience

Better to ask than not to.

EDIT: See the Do I need to uninstall other Avast apps before I install Avast One? in this link - https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/one-silver-faqs/#pc
This could equally well apply to McAfee.
