Would you recommend purchasing McAfee Quickclean for $19.95?

I like CCleaner and RegCleaner.  I had a very short experience with McAfee (many years ago) and I found all of their products to be lacking, I prefer freeware protection all the way.\n\nOkay, well you don't need more than one anti-virus solution because having more than one of those on your system will potentially cause them to interfere with each other, in severe cases they will identify the other as a virus, prevent your PC from booting and generally cause more problems than having more than one will fix.\n\nI don't like McAfee and Symantec because I have seen they use far more resources than their freeware counterparts, I have also seen that AVG for me personally provides better protection than either McAfee or Symantec.  If you're interested you can check out AVG free at http://free.grisoft.com/ but if you're happy with McAfee and it works for you I see no reason to change your anti-virus solution.\n\nWith that out of the way you do need more than one anti-spyware solution.  No one program will always have the same definitions as the other and no one program will detect every single piece of spyware out there.  For this, you can keep the protection offered by McAfee as far as the anti-spyware is concerned but you should also get (you can Google them), Adaware SE Personal, MS AntiSpyware Beta, Spybot Search and Destroy, SpywareBlaster and that should keep you more than covered, I would say they protect your system when used together 100% spyware free but that is a condition I cannot guarantee so I'll say they'll keep your system 99.99% spyware free.\n\nMS Antispyware provides active protection as does SpywareBlaster and MS Antispyware is also an excellent scanner.  Adaware SE and Spybot are just "dumb" scanners with no active protection (Spybot does have the "Tea-Timer" feature but it is as annoying as heck).\n\nSpybot and Adaware (the free version) can be used without limitations and are 100% free, no ads, pop-ups or anything and no annoying screens asking you to register either.  The same goes for MS AntiSpyware but the program will expire and to fix that all you have to do is download the update package from Microsoft when it does.  SpywareBlaster is also 100% free and offers up another layer of active protection from Spyware.\n\nThose are my recommendations but this page, http://www.photoshophow.com/freeware.htm has the largest collection of freeware applications I have ever seen, there are lots of anti-virus and anti-spyware programs to choose from.

if you're using XP don't put McAfee on it anyway. Stick with Symantec products. But here's a hint...new pc's downloading anything without internet protection, ESPECIALLY with bearshare, is just AKSING to get a trojan!

anywhere between $100 and $500 depending on what versions of the software you want

Zone alarm & AVG are both free & very good. Plus if you happen to be running an incompatible firewall with your mcafee that can also cause problems.

Hi, you had one mighty big answer to get through...lol..\nsomeone else recomended trend mico house call, it is good for free scan and removal, but you can also get a free 90 day trial on trend micro pc cillin, there are other free trail programs available as well from microsoft, just go to this microsft site for their free trial offers on different products  ..http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/viruses/wsc/en-us/default.mspx  , panda, Mcafee, pc cillin, \nF-secure, are free trial some for 30 days or 90... I would not recomend Norton or Mcafee, I have just uninstalled Norton after two years of having this product, it does not detect and delete all viruses and trojans, I found it useless to rely on this to fully protect pc from such.......I use spyware doctor, pc cillin, and will install a couple of other programs such as an easy clean, you can have more than one or two antivirus programs, not all are compatible with each other and some are...as far as trojan viruses go it would be a good idea to have a look at http://www.anti-trojan-software-reviews.com\n\nhttp://www.techsupportalert.com/free-vs-paid-av-part2.htm\nhttp://www.techsupportalert.com (home page) it lists all the best free ware untilities\n\nhttp://www.spywarewarrior.com good site for info on which antispyware programs are scam/rogue and which are legitimate

I disagree with the AVG recommendation.  It is good but the advanced heuristics found in their commercial program is not nearly as advanced in their free version.\n\nI would recommend Avast:\n\nhttp://www.avast.com/

i was told to stay away from Norton and McAfee was pretty close to Norton.But I did not listen and bought Norton and my computer is way slow. I actually talked to a computer expert who builds web sites the other day and he told me about AVGFREE.com you can get this for free and if you want more it cost just about the same as buying Norton or Mckee and he said that this service works GREAT!! I wish I would have known about this site before I spent $ 80.00 on Norton.Hope this helps.

it is sufficient if you have enough cash to buy a new computer every month!!!---try mcaffee free trial--i think it is the best----also get --ad-aware (free also)---and -windows registry repair pro-(free)---those 3 things will keep your system running like it just stole something!!!!---run the ad-aware and registry pro at least twice a week---enjoy!!

I've been in this business for many years, answering this question for over 15 years. Just antivirus software alone will help no-one.\n\nProtecting from spyware and protecting your IP address are needed first, and that means you'd want to purchase a firewall, antispyware, and antivirus software.\n\nBuying an internet security suite combines all three programs and lowers your price.\n\nYou want free? Try Zone Alarm (free version of firewall), Adaware (free spyware software), and Avast (free antivirus software). This is a great free combo.\n\nIf you want to pay for the best Suite, I would purchase Zone Alarm Suite. Thats the best (better than ANY free solution because it cryptically checks files for authenticity, something freebies do not do) and easiest to use, in my opinion. Norton is huge and inneffective. Mcafee misses too much. Zone Alarm is VERY LIGHT on system resources.  Good luck!

Download Stinger(Antivirus) from McAfee and run it on all the drives of your comp. That would not be more than a couple of Megs big and does wonders and the best part is it does not install on your PC and is free to use.
