Thankyou have now deleted macfee, it did take a few attempts though!!

If it was me? I'd uninstall McAfee as it'll clash with AVG. The two will be trying to compete with each other. You need to decide one or the other. XX Sioux

another thing, should I look at other avg programs or will macfee do the job as well?

I have downloade avg, but have just dis-abled macfee is that all right, and how do I get it to check for updates automatically please

Just done mine & done full scan all ok, didn't uninstall old version just clicked the button to do a repair, also downloaded avg antispyware free addition & found over 500 infections, all gone now though. Brian

Nudging for later Thanks for this :)

just did it, my norton was letting all sorts in!!!

Hiya... Silly me.. I'm confused so which do you all think is the best...I pay for McAfree from AOL.... and of course AVG is free....and really then I should have just the one!!!! Pat

Someone on here mentions using BOTH Free AVG and McAfee on same PC. They are competing with each other and as I understand it and because of this, neither will do their job properly. I'm using McAfee Security Suite which incls a Firewall - thus I have turned the Windows Firewall off. I do download all Windows Security patches tho. AVG have in the past stopped supporting a particular version of their free AV but have always replaced it with a free new version. It would be wise not to uininstal the current version of free AVG UNTIL the new version has been downloaded either to file or disc - or you are left without protection whilst downloading the new version. Once dowloaded to file or disc uninstal the old version then instal the new version. Scan your files and hard disc and then download any updates to the new version. Don't forget you also need a FIREWALL - Windows XP has it's own so make sure it's turned on. If you ain't got a Windows Firewall ZONELABS does a free one Hope this helps. Ron

Sioux Your as star Brian

*smiles* That's why I thought I'd come and post it here about the new free download, so no one was mislead. A public service announcement if you will ;~D XXX Sioux

The warning rather gives the impression that you have to buy the new update, i think it's a bit missleading. Brian

Peter, AVG should automatically update each time you connect to the internet. That way it keep you protected at all times. It's always running in the background. XXX Sioux

Thankyou for this will see to it. Rich.
