AVG anti-Virus is one of the best out there and they offer a free version at www.grisoft.com  You can also buy upgraded version, but it isn't necessary.  I have bought and used Nortons for years but now I use AVG free version instead and like it much better.  It was recommended to me by the company that does my network setup for my company.

You can purchase one directly from their website at:\n\nhttp://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor/purchase/

The software you mention don't act as OS firewalls. That is, they don't shield your computer against attempts to record information. Spy-bot and ad-aware rely exclusively on a database of known malware. If you want software that can also act as an OS firewall, try Zone Alarm.\nThat said, when you install the monitoring software, make sure to answer "yes" to any messages you might receive from your security software asking for permission to allow the monitoring software to work. Then, use the computer for a while, perform some routine tasks (checking e-mail etc.) to see if any more security messages come up. If they do, answer "yes" (checking the "remember my answer" box, of course). Then check to make sure that the security software has adequately logged your activity. That done, you're ready to go.\n\nAs one previous user mentioned, if the monitoring software is remote, then the McAfee software will attempt to prevent it from running. You can bypass that problem too by clicking "yes" on each security prompt to allow the software to run through the firewall.

I also use McAfee, Also we use ClamWin Antiviris. \nAnd you don't have to buy them from a computer store just go to their website and download them you can trust them not to put anything bad on your computer! \nEveryone I know has them!\nAfter I downloaded lots of stuff from myspace I had the same problems and then after a little while maby a few days our computer crashed and we had to reboot our computer so we lost all of our things. \n Since we put those two programs on our computer we haven't had a problem and I can still download music without getting any virus's!

If you are also providing the product keys and cd's, and are not re-using the software elsewhere this would be completely legal.\n\nBut if you plan on retaining ownership of the software for use on another computer, the software on the laptop would be considered pirated.

I've been using Avast and it seems to work well so far.\nhttp://www.avast.com

Make sure the program is open (start > all programs > mcafee - or something similar) then make sure VirusScan is enabled (right click the icon in the system tray- bottom right corner- click enable)\n\nHope this Helps!

Get rid of McAfee and get AVG anti virus instead - it's free and doesn't do half the background crap that McAfee does.

Howdy\n\nIf it's your intention to delete McAfee antivirus, I highly reccomend you find an alternative.  Going cold-turkey on antivirus is risky.\n\nI have a few Free Antivirus programs I can reccomend to you.. I have tried all of the following and liked them! :O)\n\nhttp://www.avast.com/ avast!\nhttp://www.free-av.com/ AntiVir HBEDV\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/ AVG Free Edition\n\nAlso, if your willing to experiment (this product as of now is still in testing)\nhttp://www.windowsonecare.com/ Windows OneCare Beta\n\nIf your fine with forking over a couple bucks, I have another solution -- I am VERY satisfied with the current version of Norton Systemworks. (http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/products/internet_security/nav2006/index.html ). This program is worth every cent, you won't be sorry!\n\nIf you would like to use Norton Antivirus for Free, that is possible... You will have to download it through the google pack, which URL is provided here:\nhttp://pack.google.com/

i would definitely get an updated anti-virus program just to be safe I personally use mcafee just my preference I also use Xoftspy anti spy-ware and another program called ccleaner that i got in an email from xoft but if I were you id probably invest in something a little newer so i could get the most recent virus updates to alleviate virus and other probs

I would suggest you write off McAfee, and install AVG personal edition for free. Good luck uninstalling McAfee, it does not like being uninstalled.

◙ The very best virus scanners are free. Mcafee & Norton Antivirus are mostly hype and won't do as good as the free ones.\n\n◙ Download and install AVG. Use it first and see if it finds any viruses or trojans.\n\n► http://www.grisoft.com/\n\n◙ After running AVG go here and runn this one online. No need to install it.\n\n► http://housecall.trendmicro.com/\n\n◙ Best spyware remover is Ad Aware. Download and instalkl the free version.\n\n◙ http://www.lavasoft.com/\n\n◙ Do yourself a favor and read their help and faqs pages.

Only buy software like this from a store, do not trust download sites, these could be frauds.
