Yes, my PC was running so slow, and that why I treid a differnt anti software, now kaspersky is in the recycle bin, my PC runs much better with Mcaffee

Thats fair enough. But I can tell you know it would run a whole lot better if you removed mcafee (Completely) and reinstalled Kaspersky (I can see why you wouldnt want to, but mcafee is notorious at slowing computers down)

Personally speaking I wouldnt remove one main av with another just to try to fix a problem. Id run malwarebytes, SAS, DR WEB etc etc so theres no need to keep making a mess of the system registries

I get my suites free and so have tried Norton and Kaspersky and others.

Out of the 2 i would DEFINATELY get Kas, as i find it good at its job. I found Norton to be a bit of a resourse hog and it missed a few virus' Kas didn't.

However, at the minute i am using NOD32 and am finding it better than either!

Norton has got itself a poor reputation but I've just upgraded to Norton 2010 and it's a vast improvement so I'd recommend Norton 2010.

NODS firewall is very poor though

Norton is good, but it make the PC slow down a bit compared to Kaspersky.

Thanks, you might be right.. I am not a PC geek, so I only based on my results.
I might try Kaspersky again then

If you do go down that route, make sure you use the MCAFEE REMOVAL TOOL as simply uninstalling leaves bits behind (And even a NORTON REMOVAL TOOL if you never used it before)

Why pay for anything?
Download avast for antivirus, Online armor, comodo or zonealarm for firewall and spybot search and destroy for spy/malware.
Couple this with ccleaner to clear out all the rubbish that windows accumulates and the hardware firewall in your router and your system will be like fort knox lol.

I really dont like paid subscriptions for antivirus etc as they really arnt any better than the free stuff available on the web. Norton slowed my machine to a crawl last time i tried it, as did avg, so id avoid those two.

I purchased the Kapersky 2010 Internet Suite and it works a treat. Very easy to install and it works away quietly in the background without constantly bothering me with annoying pop-ups and uber-cautious warning messages.

The whole suite (12 month licence for 3 PCs) is currently available at Tesco for £24 which is nearly half what Norton costs.

A bargain and I'm delighted with it. Judging from all the advice above I made the right choice.
