To those of you still running the McAfee trial supplied with your Sammy, please have a look at this snippet
Good find, thank you, tonytb 🙂

McAfee seem to have had more than their fair share of ‘upsets’. To me, they belong in the same box as Norton and AOL. Many people seem happy with these products but I try to steer well clear.
Who is going to tell Jez? I think he has said he is using the free McAfee until it expires.
i am using the mcafee until it expires but will change soon. i also have nortons internet security with 1 licence left on it but i was nervous about installing it on the n120 as it uses so much resorces. what are you using
Hi I removed McAfee when I got my NC10 and replaced it withTrend Micro Internet Security Pro and noticed an immediate speed improvement
Although I had some problems in the last months, I still run AVG free, it is definitely the fastest scanner, and it seems that they could fix the problems…
Although it may seem a good idea to keep it til the license expires it can do more harm to your system and break it to pieces.
Take it off and stick Avast or if you don’t mind paying not too much, Nod32 is great and doesnt take up many resources.
I used to use AVG, I had done for years. I installed Avast on my NC10 after reading reviews that it uses less of the system resources. it seems to work fine, I have had no problems so far.
I use Avira AntiVir Free and Comodo Firewall, both produce a quite a small workload. Worst of the “good” anti virus programs I’ve had so far is F-Secure which we deploy at work (not my choice). This can hog even your average office workstation.
[quote1247351463=snipe]Even worse than F-Secure is Norton.[/quote1247351463]
I’ve got Norton on my main quad core vista pc and have to say it runs surprisingly well and I have had no problems with it. It would not have been my first choice but the machine came with a years subscription and I have found no reason to change it as yet.I remember well all the problems it used to cause a few years back and I avoided it like the plague but they seem to have listened and improved it, and as I say, this has surprised me somewhat.
I wouldn’t recommend putting it on a sammy though!! 🙂
