Why MS changed to this new name is beyond me.

I have some strange problems with my comp security. I cannot update
windows - error 8024402C In Help I found that I have to turn off
Firewall, Antivirus,anti-spyware software, while downloading and
installing updates.I checked my Windows Security Center and found out
that I have 2 Firewalls Windows Firewall and McAfee on at the same time.
I can turn Windows Firewall off,but I can't do anything to McAfee.I have
no idea where it comes from.I never installed it and more than that I
checked all my computer, registry. I didn't find anything close to
it.But my Security Center says that I have not only McAfee Firewall
,butI also have McAfee Antivirus and multiple antispyware programs and
all this stuff turned on and up to date.Sometimes I have this :
-"problem was caused by Bitdefender Antivirus, which was created by
Bitdefender. Currently, there is no solution for the problem that you
reported" I do not have any Bitdefender in my computer. Where all this
stuff comes from. The only Antivirus that I installed in my comp was
NOD32 But I had to uninstall it Because I do not want them to conflict
with each other.
Any suggestions?
