 anti-virus software question
I am sick of McAffee bogging down my system. Any suggestions on a good alternative? (I am on a PC.) (And don't tell me to get a Mac  )

I used to have Norton, but McAfee works better on my computer.

 Re: anti-virus software question
Was a faithful Norton user for 10 years. The software became so unwieldy (not to mention friggin expensive renewing it year after year) that I checked out free alternatives and landed on Avira. Not only is its footprint tiny, but it works better than Norton!

 Re: anti-virus software question
I'm an AVG Free man myself - not only (as its name suggests) free, but it updates itself every day, and appears to be quite effective.

 Re: anti-virus software question
Yup AVG. We use Symantec Enterprise at work and AVG is way better. So there ya go.

 Re: anti-virus software question
when AVG stopped detecting viruses for me, I switched to Avira and it seems to work great. It gives you some annoying pop-ups when scanning, but there's a very easy way to take care of that.
