Hi, with o2 we had free full mcafee subscription, just wondering it the mcafee subscription is this carried over to sky automatically?

Skys own offer is that thet arre actually offering it free for a year then you pay £3 a month after that?

    A great disinsentive, you don't need or want it.
    Get yourself Microsoft Security Esentials - free, or say Avast which people on here recommend.
    If you want to pay, a one licence 3 PC version of NIS is less than £25.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Thou shalt only have one antivirus programme on your PC, AV programmes do not play nicely with each other.

    McCrappy doesn't even play nicely on it's own...the idea of paying £36pa on a subscription basis for it is insane.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Or Avast, Avira.
    Alternatively, Kaspersky is free with Barclays online banking.
