I work for the USAF from home and it was recommended to me that I use Norton Systemworks. I have had it for 3 years and I love it! It blocks everything and I can use it's other functions to optimize my computer clean my computer and even regulate my trash or recycle bin!

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

Get rid of McAfee...especially if you're using XP. They don't get along well at all. Crashed my pc twice before I learned the hard way.

McAfee AntiVirus and Norton Security Suite are both excellent, but they are HUGELY expensive ($100+), and they clog up your computer's speed. McAfee also offers a free standalone tiny antivirus tool called AVERT Stinger, but it's not that great. Don't even bother.\n\nYou can get free antivirus software online, and some of it is very good.  I personally use AVG Free Edition from Grisoft, which uses very little memory and is very good, although it runs an update every day. Other people prefer Avast! Home edition because it looks cool. However, it's really not all that good. Still more people prefer AntiVir XP, which is an EXCELLENT antivirus scanner, but uses more memory than AVG. \n\nHowever, to ensure that your computer is 100% safe, pair your antivirus software with some spyware and adware blockers too. Try downloading AdAware SE from Lavasoft, Spyware Blaster, and Spyware: Search and Destroy. All are excellent and will help keep your computer very safe, all for free. Remember to update them...\n\nAll of the software mentioned can be found at http://www.majorgeeks.com\n\nP.S. JibberJabber is wrong. PC Magazine rated free antivirus suites, and all of them, particulary AntiVir, had excellent catch rates. Although they aren't quite as good as paid solutions, you can use other software in conjunction with your antivirus software to make your PC safe.

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

Try using AVG Anti-Virus, it is free and it is one of the best ones out there. Uninstall mcafee first though. Here is the link to download it. http://free.grisoft.com If you have anymore questions feel free to email me.

control panel > add/remove programs > McAfee\n\nTake it off if you don't like it.  Install AVG.

Security system? I'm running the 2wire HomePortal that came with the package. It has a built in firewall that seems to work well, much like a software firewall it'll log minor things like a port scan and others like a DDoS, haven't had any problems yet.

I prefer Mcafee because it's less obtrusive than most of the suites. I dislike Norton because it's in your face all of the time with warnings or questions.\n\nThe smaller less known internet security suites I wonder if they have enough staff to monitor and keep up to date on the virus detections. For this simple reason I would recommend going with one of the top two (Norton or McAfee). I know for a fact they update the definitions everyday

Please don't use Norton! McAfee is not brilliant either. Here you have some good and free options:\nhttp://askcomputerexpert.ws43.com/download/security.htm

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.
