If you want to stay with what you are familiar with McAfee Anti-Virus Internet Security Suite 2006 is available for much less here. Those renewal prices are a con!

DON'T DO IT. Read some expert reviews and also the user reviews on Amazon (always a good indication of how good a product it is) - this will show you that these products really aren't that great. Would highly recommend the free version of AVG for virus scanning and ZoneAlarm for your firewall. Both better products in my opinion and both FREE:T

Hi Guys,

My McAffee Subscription is soon to be expired and I WILL NOT be renewing thanks to the fantastic advice given by you. My question now is, so I remove all McAffee programmes from my computer?? Will any of the things I need to use from the list below harm my PC?

Manyn Thanks,
Allison.
