Try the AVG6 Free. I use it with Zone Alarm and it works great. I had
McAfee for 3 years and got numerous viruses. When my subscription ran out 2
years ago, I didn't renew and got AVG6 and have not had one virus since.

DO NOT under ANY circumstances install a McAfee anti-virus product.
I have been installing, testing, and writing reviews of software for
some nine years now. The only worse thing I have seen was an IE
update, and then trying to uninstall that. it took me two days just to
get my computer to reboot!
I wanted to remove the McAfee app (version 8.0 pro) but McAfee no
longer will uninstall from what I can tell, and other messages all
over the internet (which I read too late) say the same thing. Yes, I
went to the "ADD/REMOVE" in XP but it doesn't work.. Trust me. I
manually stopped every running process in task manager I could, and
still the same thing. I have probably added and removed more software
than you and three of your friends combined over the years, and this
is the second worst thing I have ever come across, and THE worst
paid-for app I have ever possessed. As soon as I get this infect-ware
off my computer I will begin a scathing review of McAfee, I can assure
you of that!
It looks like I will spend the next two days manually editing my
registry to remove all entries concerning McAfee, NAI, Network
Associates, and whatever else I can think of to get rid of it.
Beware, I am not a doom sayer, and I have reviewed some GREAT software
in the past. Want a GREAT and FREE firewall that works flawlessly? Get
ZoneAlarm. It is amazingly effective! I am currently beginning a test
of AVG antivirus, and even their free version looks great (I have been
using that for about a week).
Whatever you do, avoid McAfee... you have been warned!
Any typos are due to the fact that I am so mad right now that numerous
feloneous thoughts are running through my head.
And, no, I have no connection with ANY software company at all other
than I review product- some I get sent and other I buy. I am
embarassed to say it, but I bought McAfee, but NEVER AGAIN!
