INSTALLING ANTI VIRUS%%

HI ,IVE HAD MACFEE INSTALLED IN MY ASPIRE ONE ,I NEED TO CHANGE TO KASPER ANTI VIRUS -HOW SHOULD I GO ABOUT IT CAUSE EARLIER IN MY DESKTOP WHEN I DID THIS I MESSED IT UP.SO PLEASE ADVISE ON HOW I CAN GO ABOUT IT .JUST UNINSTALL MACFEE AND INSTALL KAV ,IS IT THAT EASY.THANKS...

 

That's the first thing I did. I uninstalled the anti-virus and went with the free AVG. AVG is free and blows away Mcafee.

 

google for uninstall mcafee, they probably have a proper uinstall tool. (symantec did when i used to use them) also get CCleaner, and run its registry cleanup, that will save you a bit of hassle too. its something someone on the forums suggested for me, and now its on all 7 of my windows operating systems.
to be fair thats what you should have done before posting

if your going to use an av on a aao then it needs to do be 2 things, fast and good

norton, symantec & Mcafee:
good av but it will SLOW down the compuer a lot!

AVG well its free, dont expect it to work as well as the others! from my own use iv knowen macenes to be full of viruses and yet avg can scan and say there is nothing

personly iv ended up useing NOD32 (by eset) capture rate at least as good as the big names (mcafee & symantec) but is not a resorce hog! i also like the fact it isnt in your face all the time, when it douse an update it just has a faded mesage to say its done in the corber and then it go's after a few seconds, not some stuped box that says downloading or where you need to click ok to get rid of it - samll name in soho users but its much bigger in enterprise use (http://www.eset.com) - if u got kids then push for the education discount as its 50% off if you can find it!
