Hi Dottie, A recent issue of Consumer Reports rated various antivirus and other security software. They rated McAfee towards the top, and AVG and Avast were at the bottom. They also rated Norton near the middle. That said, I personally use Avast and have heard nice comments about AVG. My experience with Norton, and I have had a lot of it, is that Norton is quite invasive of your system, while Avast is compact and "clean". My own recommendation would be to stick with McAfee unless you have a specific reason for being unhappy with it. For someone without an antivirus program, I don't hesitate in suggesting Avast. Perhaps others may have additional input for you. -----Original Message----- I currently have McAfee as my virus protection but have been reading and hearing good things about AVG. I am considering uninstalling McAfee and purchasing AVG in its stead. I would appreciate any suggestions as to whether this would be a good decision on my part.
