You need to stop uninstalling McAfee. Let McAfee run its process to automatically renew your Cox Enterprise license.
Log into McAfee what? The McAfee website? If you download McAfee from Cox, it doesn't automatically create an account on the McAfee website. You'll need to register for an account on the McAfee website.
And how does one do that....? When I go to the McAfee site, there is no place to create an account. Only places to "log in" which I cannot do, because I have no account there under my cox email account. When I go there via the Cox site, it has 636_xxx@cox.net which other then the 636, is correct, but again, I cannot do anything at that point. I can right click on the McAfee icon and it will verify I have an active subscription, but this stupid Windows Defender Notification will not go away, because it still thinks its expiring....
Well, that's Windows Defender...not McAfee. When you click the icon, what does Defender report? Can you ignore it?
Windows Defender or Microsoft Defender on Win10?
The login is probably for a McAfee app on the Cox website: cox.com/securitysuite. You get up to 5 licenses and that 636 is probably your unique login for 1 of your 5 devices. Perhaps your wife wouldn't want you shunting her firewall.
