    You have AVG...

    Instead of installing McAfee, you can achieve the same effect by removing half your RAM and setting your processor to run in 'super efficient power saving' mode (aka dog slow).

    And leave AVG on it.

    I was going for sarcasm, the hidden message was:

    Keep AVG Free, it works perfectly well.
    McAfee is a pile of crap that will cripple your system.
