Yes, Zeus, thanks. The McAfee Scanner is definitely an improvement over what we experienced in Norton. We've only come to realize in recent years how much hard drive space Norton takes up, and I find McAfee does essentially the same thing. We used to swear at it and now we swear by it. And even getting the entire security suite for around $60 is very affordable compared to $80 or more for Norton. I find McAfee easier to configure, and with McAfee Antivirus, I really don't need to use a program like Ad Aware or SpyBot (another confusing program to try to configure). Whenever I downloaded SpyBot, I unistalled it just as quickly!
Fujitsu and Cowboy, I hope you enjoy McAfee as much as I have lately. We used to think it was not as good of a program and earlier versions seemed problematic with earlier Windows versions, but we feel that now we have something to work with and we won't make any changes with. I appreciate NAI's tech support people. I hear horror stories of people dealing with Norton techies and having to wait weeks to even hear from them! Anyone who knows Norton know that while their virus research team is one of the best out there, if their tech support is seriously lacking, that doesn't speak very well for them. That's as much as why we will stick with McAfee for years to come, as well as the affordable price and easier configuring!
