    its a full security suite also and best of all its £1...

    For those fans of McAfee, did you know that their Security Suite 2010 failed to gain certification from the highly respected and independent anti virus testing organisation, AV Comparatives.

    It scored well on Protection and Usability but failed miserably on cleaning infections, only scoring 2.5 out of a possible 6.

    Here is one site that has recently evaluated the subscription based 2011 Security Suites from the most popular companies.

    Personally, I'll not make any judgements until eith AV Comparatives or AV Tests have done their evaluations.

    It amazes me that people who read MSE still pay for Norton or Macaffee when there are better free products around.
    It's your money. Except if it's the governments.
