I currently purchased a new laptop and I need to install the McAfee Anti Virus that I pay monthly for with Verizon. At first when purchased the anti virus plan they gave me an email to send to all my devices and open to install,well since then I have lost email and need to install McAfee on new laptop, Anybody have any ideas, I know Comcast is running neck and neck

This is probably the link you're looking for: https://www.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/essentials/internet-security-suite-download

To be honest, I would just use Windows Defender, which is built into Windows 10, with the free version of MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, and an Adblocker like uBlock Origin (available for most browsers like Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome). The best part is, no subscription, and it's not tied to your ISP service.

On a Mac... just use an Adblocker and keep your OS up to date. MalwareBytes for Mac can be kept handy if you do get something nasty.
