    I have had McAfee on my Dell computer since new - suppose because it was there initially I just stuck with it.

    When it comes to renewal time I contact them and tell them that I don't want it anymore. They always come back and offer to at least halve the price and so I then renew it for a further year (usually about £19.99)

    Can't say it is brilliant as after a few years it does seem to have slowed the computer down, but then again as far as I know it has kept it pretty well protected.

    Is there really much to choose between any of them? They just seem to be a necessary evil:eek:

    How do you know it's kept it protected? One of the issues I found with McAfee is that it let viruses infect the PC and you're only able to find out by using a better antivirus instead or by spotting the specific symptoms and manually finding the infected files.
