MacAfee and Yahoo for DSL? I want to use a MacAfee firewall and Yahoo antivirus for my DSL. How can I get them to recognize each other and play nice? The online help said that old virus protection software had to be uninstalled before Yahoo could be installed so they wouldn't be essentially doing the same things at the same times and tying up the computer. But I don't have MacAfee antivirus, just the firewall, so Yahoo antivirus shouldn't be impeded. How can I make this work?
Who makes the best Internet Security / Antivirus programs? I was told today at Best Buy that Trend Micro is better than Norton or Macafee.

Also, Trend Micro makes a Spyware version and a Antivirus version, Am I supposed to buy them all or will Internet Security do the job??

Out of these 3 antivirus programs below, which would you choose? I recently changed from McAfee to Kaspersky (MacAfee is a little bit "heavier" and "slower") but someone told me that having free anti-virus AVG is perfectly alright, then, one software technician recommended NOD 32 which he said was the best among the rest today. If you were to choose, which would you prefer? AVG? Kaspersky? or NOD 32?

Is trustedantivirus good and how do you fix a task manager? My friend left his laptop running with it online, but didn't realize it. He said he had been on his hotmail account, msn, and some adult sites a few days before, . When he observed his computer returning from work he noticed a bunch of notices constantly popping up on his computer from www.trustedantivirus.com. Is that a good antivirus soft ware and is it as good or better than macafee, nod32, AVG, etc. He said that he must have turned off all of the antivirus soft ware while he was at work, because it would affect how fast the computer runs. He ran about 6 of the Antivirus softwares already on his computer and he kept getting notices about viruses and trojans. A big problem he is having is that when he clicked ctrl+alt+delete, the task manager would not show up on his computer. There was a notice that popped up on the screen that read something like " You do not have administrative rights for the task manager" Does anybody know what the means and if it can be fixed?

How do I remove a Trojan virus that my antivirus software and other programs cannot detect? My computer keeps getting a pop-up that says that I have been infected with a Trojan virus. But when I scan my computer to find it and remove it, the program says my computer is fine.

Everyone read this!!!? For those of you who don't know there is a virus going around that no antivirus software can stop. MacAfee Anti Virus detected it on Monday they are usually attached to a e-card or it may say"invitation" dont open it because it will DESTROY YOUR C-DRIVE. GOOD LUCK!!!
Anti-virus software? Which is the best antivirus software to put into my computer. Have read that Macafee make the computer slow to run after installation. I am also getting an MSN report saying that my virtual memory is low. Not to into computer jargon so can you explain in simple language Cheers
should i have both? I just downloaded macafee security suite. I also noticed after installing that my icon in the task bar for windows defender wasnt turned on. Should i still have windows defender turned on even though I have macafee for anti virus protection, because I know your not supposed to have 2 antivirus protection services on your computer. Just dont know if its the same thing as having 2 or not, and I dont know if macafee turned it off during installation or not .
McAfee Help!!? Recently ordered a computer (Windows Vista - Home Premium). It came with McAfee Antivirus/Antispyware/Firewall. I want to get rid of it and put on "Shaw Secure" which is a free antivirus/antispyware and firewall that my internet provider, Shaw, provides for no extra cost. Is it easy to uninstall MacAfee, and is Shaw Secure good.? And I don't want everyone telling me to upgrade to a free program when I can just use a free one thatcomes with my internet that I pay for. If someone can prove that Shaw Secure isn't good, i'll probably try NOD32. Edit:: Or stick with Mcafee if people say it's good** Edit:: Or stick with Mcafee if people say it's good**

Computer problems? We bought a new Dell computer. At first we had MacAfee which it came with. When the trial period was over I installed Norton Antivirus. I also have Webroot Spyware on it. It freezes and a lot of time it gives an error when trying to get on the internet. I uninstalled Macafee by the way. What's the deal? It's a brand new computer! I have cable connection it should a lot faster than it is. By the way, I don't download music or movies and I only view pics from my memory card from my digital camera.
