McAfee WebAdvisor

I just noticed the McAfee WebAdvisor is ON understtings in Safari.

Is this normal? Is it installed by Apple?

I normally use Opera GX browser. But, I wanted to use Safari for a while due it it's better RAM management.

Not installed by Apple. You have done something to install it.
Where in Safari Settings? As an extension?

Yes. Setting --> Extensions. That is where it is.

I will remove it. I did not think Apple would include anything from McAfee.
