Downgrading to Plusnet value

maxzorin_2

Hi all,

I used to be on the plusnet extra which came with free mcafee antivirus suite together with 60gb download allowance a month.

I was only using around 6-8gb a month so a few monthd ago I went back to the basic cheaper option with 10gb a month limit & no anti-virus.

My question is that it appears I still have an up to date anti virus product on my computer. The mcafee software updates itself when necessary & when you launch the software it says 'all systems up to date'.

So is this right, I mean I keep getting emails from Plusnet saying would I like to pay a bit extra and get anti-virus?

McAfee isn't worth having even if it's free-it's consistently rated the worst AV program around. Uninstall it and use Avast, Avira or MSE for free instead.

Thanks for the quick response. I actually thought that Mcafee were ok & liked the fact that it was 3 in 1, i.e. anti-virus, firewall etc.

Anyway I will check out the others, Ive heard of Avast but what is MSE, Mr Lewis hasn't branched out into AV pc software now has he?

Microsoft Security Essentials.
Unless yiu are running XP, you already have an adequate firewall provided by your OS.
