You might try and see if you can do a custom install and leave out the
McAfee part. You're much better off with Norton by a longshot. I wouldn't
give it up for anything. There's plenty of Anti-Spam programs out there and
if you;re on a dial-up I personally see little need for a firewall. Just my
$.02

Subject: [PCSOFT] MSN 8
Hi,
I'm a senior citizen who has had a computer for about three years. I haven't
had any problems yet because I never try anything fancy.
I've been thinking about installing MSN 8. I already have MSN as my ISP.
While checking out the MSN preview on the CD, I noticed that the e-mail
was checked by McAfee Anti Virus. I already have Norton AV, Firewall and
Utilities and know that you cannot have two AV programs at the same time.
I called the MSN Tech Service and asked them if there was a way to turn
off the McAfee AV. They said no. I know that I can shut off the Norton AV
e-mail check but I've just resubscribed. Is the McAfee AV on Microsoft's
server to check the e-mail before I get it or is it downloaded to my
computer as part of the software? MSN 8 has a lot of nice features but is
it worth changing anti virus programs? I'm using Windows 98, Pentium II, 350
MHz, 128MB, 56K modem. Any ideas?
Thanks for a great newsletter.
