My daughter is at uni and her mcafee has ran out today. She is going to replace it with AVG. Shes on windows XP is there anything she needs to be aware of before uninstalling mcafee and installing this? Any particular procedure? Shes got zone alarm free, adaware, spybot and ccleaner.
I have already swapped mine to AVG but I'm on win 98 so I wanted to know if theres any differences in installation
Also is there anything else she should get for her laptop to keep it running well and safe?
