When I signed up for my local Cable/Internet service, I was given a free 
subscription to McAfee AntiVirus. Whether or not it provides good 
protection, I'll never know as it slowed my computer down to a crawl, 
with frequent updating and automatic scanning. I got so frustrated that 
I uninstalled it and installed MS Security Essentials. I have found no 
reason to distrust SE, and it seems to behave and at least stays out of 
way when I'm working.
