Re: Cox offer of McAffee security suite

Avoid McAfee like the plague. I've used McAfee for a few years now, and the latest versions are embarrassing. They slow down your system like God knows what, the VirusScan never seems to really catch any viruses, and it's caused my Windows installation to malfunction (to the point where I've had to format + reinstall) a few times now.

Just my honest opinion, McAfee SUCKS. What you have now is a lot better.

My 3 PCs are on a home wireless network and run XP SP3. For protection I
use Avast antivirus, ZA free and do frequent checks for malware (Ad-Aware
and Spybot). My internet access is high speed via a router using COX.

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.

Recommendations?
