Windows 8 & McAfee firewall

I have recently purchased a new Dell laptop with Windows 8. McAfee security was already built in with one month's free trial. That included the firewall. Now the free trial has ended I am being bombarded with pop ups to buy the full suite. Trying to find Windows firewall rather than McAfee, it seems it doesn't exist. Only McAfee. That is turned on, for short periods and then it snoozes and I have to wake it up again, about every 24 hours. This is unacceptable. I do not wish to buy McAfee, my preference, if I have to pay, is for AVG, but the firewall was always included in Windows before. What do you suggest? I am not technical! Nor do I use the PC for anything much other than emails and some shopping.
