Guys forget what PC polls say..AVG rules..My laptops have been running the free version for over 5 years without problems..I use to use McAfee on my desktops , but things were a little sluggish, but no viruses..
I now use Norton for the last 2 years .The first version I used was the best"internet security with firewall"..I recently renewed it for 2 years..thought I selected the same[the 1st was 2005, so I selected 2006]..It is different , but I can still retain the firewall from my original..
I would recommend Norton, and AVG..
I to had a tough time renewing McAfee after it ran out..That is why I gave up and switched..
