Do you know what the "Macafee switch" means? I saw a note about it under Device Manager, but there are no Macafee products showing up on my Windows 10 computer.

Hey, which Windows version are you on and do you have a specific Anti-virus tool installed? Is it spelled "macafee" or "McAfee"? Can I find that program listed in Device Manager? When you right-click the entry and go to Properties, what details does it show? Are there any programs launching automatically in Task Manager > Startup? I need more info.

Your laptop is a Lenovo that has Windows 10 but does not have Kaspersky antivirus installed. If you look in your Start Menu, there are no programs listed for it. When you open the Device Manager and click the little arrow to go down, you see two entries named "MacafeeIntegration Device Driver."

Can I give you a picture from my computer? Just upload it to imgur.com and tell me where to put your link.
