Not infrequently I have a client bring in a system without aftermarket antivirus that got hacked. It is ten times rarer that I get a hacked system with an aftermarket antivirus. I still recommend people use an aftermarket antivirus. Regarding you being required to use McAfee, I've found it no better than Windows Defender, so I don't know why people pay for it. It doesn't even rate well in detection tests like av-test or av-comparatives.
