David: I am not a McAfee fan. I installed their stuff and it mucked up my
computer something wicked. Booting took all morning. Lockups were by the
hour. Uninstalled it, which as I recall, didn't work without help from McAfee,
now use Norton and everything is fine. Paul A. has a virus program (at least I
think it's Paul) that he loves and it's free. I'm far from an expert but this
is just my experience.
