For once, I have to disagree. I'm on Comcast, and they have the same offer, and for testing, I decided to give it a try on one of the PC's in the house. So far, its been ok, for over a year. Assuming this is the same version that Cox is offering, I'd have to say set a System Restore point and give it a try.

In my area Cox is now offering a free download and use of McAfee Security
Suite to its customers. Should I replace my present Avast and ZA with the
free McAfee suite? I've heard that McAfee can be a hog on resources and
slow down the PC.
No. McAfee is dreadful.
