Mcafee Security Suite

[Night Black]

My new computer arrives soon, and when I ordered it, I received a 12 month subscription to Mcafee (Non-Trial) for free. I'm getting AV, Firewall, and Spamkiller. So how does this software perform compared to the stuff I'm using now, like AVG and ZoneAlarm? Should I keep it, or should I just get rid of it?

I ask because I used to have Norton.. enough said.

Also, any alternatives to AVG and ZA?

Personally, I have had only a minor issue with McAfee wanting to verify my subscription a little too often.....other than that its good. I would use it over AVG.
I'd say use it for the year, and then dump it (IF you are a seasoned computer user)...then switch to something else - say NOD32 and the last free version of kerio [2.1.5].

If your not computer savvy, use zonealarm, and stay with McAfee.
