Most users uninstall McAfee and go with something that is generally better. I recommend Avira. It's most likely a false positive.

However, if a different antivirus detects malware, you probably have not downloaded the official bitcoin.com wallet.

To be sure, run a Malwarebytes scan and quarantine any applications that show up.
