    my 2 cents, even if this particular antivirus is free, it is not worth downloading, there are many more superior ones which are free, just check on the appropiate fourm here on boards.

    Would'nt touch McAfee with a barge pole. Microsoft Security Essentials is free. I have it since it was released and not a bit of bother:)

    To uninstall McAfee.

    I've put this up in a few places, it might save some people alot of time and money so I'll put it here aswell.
    Don't use Internet Explorer if you still are, all it's good for is downloading a different browser.

    Use Firefox with these 3 add-ons (click on Tools when you have Firefox running to install add-ons),

    (1) Adblock Plus(subscribe to easylist) half the bad stuff you catch on the Internet comes from ads. Don't use it on your favourite sites, your cutting there funding.

    (2) No Script

    (3) Web Of Trust (WOT) blocks sites with bad ratings from loading.

    For reading PDF documents use Foxit Reader instead of Adobes Reader(This is probably on your computer already, delete it, it's full of holes) do a custom install so you can untick all the stuff you don't want.

    Install Malwarebytes, Superantispyware, and Comodo Firewall (don't install the antivirus that comes with it.) if comodo gives you trouble use PC Tools Firewall instead.

    Don't use an Administrator account and update everything.

    CCleaner is handy for keeping you computer tidy.

    VLC media player for your songs and films. Super program.

    This looks like alot but once installed thats it really.

    OR install a different operating system and don't bother with anything, Ubuntu. Boards have a Forum for these here.

    All this stuff is free.
