    disable defender realtime scanning, uninstall mcafee with removal tool, enable windows firewall, install avast free and malwarebytes (both free), and your machine will probably be a lot faster, with better protection.

    All antivirus scanners scan for trojans, but the one you had obviously missed it
    Thanks I'll bear that in mind at the end of the sub period
