   Boy.. I'm so glad I deleted McAfee quite some time ago when it came time for renewing! Thanks to these forums, I installed Comodo free version and it's been working just fine for me!

   I don't remember the last time I used Mcafee even though Comcast use to offer it for free for Comcast subscribers. Now they offer Norton Security Suite which is Norton 360 without the online backup. I like it. I have it installed on 3 machines, works fine.
