Hi there, some more details would be appreciated.
What media did you download and install from, and did you verify the checksum for that download ?
Did you boot your system in legacy/BIOS or UEFI mode for the installer? See e.g. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Installing_o ... boot_media

Do I have to anything to the firewall or is abled by default without touching nothing.

Did you actually read https://doc.mageia.org/mcc/8/en/content ... akfirewall ?

A short excerpt:

A basic firewall is installed by default with Mageia. All the incoming connections from the outside are blocked if they aren't authorised

Is a antivirus needed for Mageia or use of the firewall Is enough ?

Unless you run a mail server you really do not need anti-virus
