Which McAfee Product ?

I need to buy some software for my PC, I've previously used McAfee Internet Security Suite which I've been quite happy with. I understand that it's only possible to update the product on the internet for one year after installation on computer, does that sound right?
If it is I intend to buy some more software, uninstall what's on here now and put on the new. I've had a look at the prices on Amazon and they have a few different packages and I'm confused. Can someone please help by explaining what the difference is between these:
McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 (PC) 2006
and
McAfee Internet Security Suite (Upgrade Edition) (PC) 2006
as I'm unsure which to buy.
Many thanks.

PS I'm on a dial up connection but I do intend getting broadband in the next few months (if this makes a difference).

Im not sure that you really need to buy anything, as there are plenty of very good free security applications available. Im not familar with the recent versions of McAfee, so Im not sure exactly it offers, but there was a very good thread here offering various solutions. You can certainly get the basics of a firewall and virus checker for free, but possibly that doesnt offer you all that McAfee does?"I'm not even supposed to be here today."0
