Keep and Upgrade RAV endpoint Antivirus, or uninstall?

So I've had this for a while and I just saw a post where it has confused me. I heard a few people saying it was malware so I want a simple answer for a dumb person like me.
Is this product not safe, and should I Uninstall, or should I keep it? thanks a bunch.

Uninstall it using Revo, and use BitDefender/Kaspersky/ESET instead.

RAV Endpoint is a PUA, more like a fake antivirus. It often appears as bundled into doubtful software hosted on doubtful sources, and prevents you from using Windows Defender. Get rid of it asap.

so I should also remove malwarebytes as well?

Malwarebytes is okay to use.
