| | | Kaspersky or McAfee??
Hi Y'all,
I have a deep theological question. Which do you all like better - Kaspersky or McAfee? My wife and I have one of each on our computer, and the free trial period is up and we are contemplating which one to buy. Kaspersky seem to be less of a memory hog, but Mcafee has bells and whistles.
Any advice and input is greatly appreciated.
So, which one is elect? |

I've always used AVG free, and it has been good.
But my kids now say Kaspersky does a more thorough search (is better).

Yes, dump both Kaspersky and McAfee and go with AVG or Avast.

But I'm a capitalist pig. I wanna spend money on a all-in-one package!! I'm talking about Kaspersky Internet Securtity 7 vs. McAfee Total Protection 2008. My wife has a dinosaur computer and I have a laptop. Those free versions are o.k., but I want something great for me and my wife.
Thanks y'all for your input.

Kaspersky has caused me nothing but problems on PC I have installed it on. I find it really messes with certain registry settings. McAfee is a gigantic memory hog. Only Norton is worse. If you want a top-flight all in one solution that is non-free, get yourself either Eset or BitDefender Antivirus Software - Eliminate Spyware and Adware with ESET NOD32 Antivirus Antivirus software - BitDefender - The future of security now!
I have used both, and they are very good and very light on resources (a must for me).

Hi,
I always tell my customers (pc repair) if there are going to use Windows that Mcafee and Norton are bad, bad, bad. Why? Memory hogs I always recommend AVG Free or if they want to pay regular AVG.
When I must boot into windows that is what I use. | | The Following User Says Thank You to historyb For This Useful Post: | |  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
