    1st of all uninstall McAfee with it's uninstall tool or use revo uninstaller pro's free version in Safe mod if it's already been deleted, it ll wash all of the McAfee's leftovers.

    Switch on All security mechanisms of bitdefender 1st including port scan in firewall settings. do not exclude anything from bitdefender's real time scanning.
    Plz perform the Rescue Environment scan.

    Then create a custom scan by switching on All the security options including all of the drives , do not forget to switch off '' scan new and modified files only :

    if nothing is found then use your pc with all the B.d. security features enabled, if the malware is there it ll be handled by bitdefender's continuous monitoring or it ll not be able to damage your device.
    i had a prb in my windows files , which was shutting down my windows 10's security repeatedly, tried many software ,hell of fresh re installations of win 10, nothing worked, i installed bitdefender and the problem was fixed, it never let my windows files become corrupted.
    Anyway fresh re-installation of the windows will be the best option, install bitdefender right after installing the windows, keep the product & windows updated.

    plz let me know after the tests.

    best regards
