i have just had my pc security renewal for £55. has anybody any suggestions or can say which they use  (if this is allowed.)
if you can reply dont include Norton as i dont like it. the one i have at the moment came free with the laptop i bought, my previous one for my tower was £39.99. i let it lapse as i got the free one.
       
Maybe it is like car/house insurance. rises every year now.  i just thought £55 was a lot.( mcafee )

it is 2 years since i last renewed one.
   
thanking you

I threw out McAfee and installed Norton!

I didn't appreciate McAfee dictating to me what software I should use (anti-spyware and browser).

my niece had Norton and had lots of bother with it and that is why i dont like it. it came on my laptop but i never installed it, i had to delete it off the laptop before i could play  a dvd as it stopped dvds playing.

Recently bought 2 laptops, both had McAfee on (not anymore).
Uninstalled before even doing a disc image.
(If you put into your websearch, 'uninstall McAfee', special uninstaller required to rid your machine of it

Yes .... the latest version of McAfee 2013 for multiple machines can be purchased at retail prices around £28 with an upgrade version available from around £12

Won't say anymore then!
I don't want to start off a war between Norton and McAfee users.
I have only ever used Norton even in a work environment.

I had McAfee because it was already on the laptop so had cheap sub, then when time came for renewal it had shot up in price (and I didn't like it anyway) so I rang them to cancel. The young lady was very pleasant and helpful, tried hard to make me stay with them - offered to let me have it at half-price  I'd already had another one installed by my friendly IT people when my laptop crashed so didn't take up their offer - but it might be worth negotiating if you want to keep it
