my old kaperskys about to run out, im replacing it with mcafee. it says to uninstall the old stuff before installing the new....how do i do the un installing....?

 

click the bottom left icon on your screen, go into control panel, add or remove program

 

got that bit done but as usual these things never go well. after installing the new mcafee its jumping between telling me ive entered a wrong password to my mcafee account even though i dont have a previous mcafee acount and i only have 1 attempt left . fucking computers.

 

after uninstalling the old one and installing the new one, did you create an account for the mcafee antivirus? im pretty sure you would have done this but just checking?

Anyway i hope you didnt pay anything for it? ive been using avast free version for 2-3 years on my desktop and the misses laptop, never had a single issue with either of them, never pay for AV when the free ones work just aswell

 

Mcafee is proprietary, so yes he would have paid for it, as you say a simple AV product will suffice.

I don't like Mcafee, the trouble is nowadays they are crammed with so much junk which leads to your machine slowing down!

martin, I used to swear by AVG a few years until they turned it into bloat ware, was a shame

 

I had faced lot of trouble with AVG antivirus but quick heal is very user friendly.

 

Fuzzy, please don't use mcafee. It's really poor. Download Microsoft security essentials for free from Microsoft. It's really good and doesn't slow your pc down like mcafee.
