I just got a new computer which came with a Vista OS, and few months after i guess my McAfee expired or something. So now some parts of my computer arent safe.

here are some pics.



When i click Update this window pops up



and when i click renew now

it takes me to the website, which i have to pay for it




I just want to know how i can get a full access of the McAfee without paying for it. or whatever you guys suggest. I would appreciate the help.

Thanks.

You either have to renew your subscription or stop using it....Mcafee is not a good AV at all so I would just ditch it. AVG free, Antivir and Avast free are all great free AV's, check them out.

This McAfee came with the computer. So if i stop using it, do i just uninstall ? and does AVG have a firewall too?

Lol, sorry to break this to you, but all things Mcafee are not great. Both Agnitum and Camodo (Comodo, cant remember the spelling) make great FREE firewalls. I have been using Agnitum's Outpost firwall for a little over a year, it is by far the best I have ever used.

And yeah, once you decide the route you are going to go with regard to AV/firewall, feel free to uninstall that Mcafee junk, unless you plan on renewing of course.

I gotta disagree on the Mcafee AV. It is a bit needy, but it is updated regularly and is near the top of most AV's as far as detection rate. I installed it on my parent's PC for a year and it had zero problems. It will have more processes running in the background than say Nod32, but it is a quality AV imo.

Alright thnx man, ill see about it.

I have a question, does comodo have all the features or does it have all the things that McAfee have? just wondering.

Ick LS, no more blasphemy!

@tense

Just dl it and check it out, if you dont like it continue with Mcafee.

Tense, you don't really need a top notch software firewall, XP's built in firewall will work fine for most things. You can enable it through Start-->Control Panel-->Security Center-->Windows Firewall. It is no better or worse than most software firewalls, the hardware firewall built into your router/modem is far more important than a software firewall.
