Default Free McAfee- should I install?

Well i have got a new Rig (specs in Sig) and I have got Sky as my ISP, and they have bundled 12months free McAfee internet security center in with it. Should I install this, or carry on with my free Zone Alarm? I like a light, but effective anti-virus, that is un-obtrusive to games.

Also, would it help my security if i had AVG free running in the tray, as the only security thing i have at all is Zone Alarm.

Default Re: Free McAfee- should I install?

I say NO way, from my own experience with McAfee. I have so many security cases where McAfee had did nothing for the computer. It was horrible, I had to install Avg and find out there was at least 5,000 infections all together. I would say NO stick with Zonealarm .

Also, installing 2 security will just make conflicts in your PC and it will slow it down in time. I would say stick with what you have had and don't install more than is necessary.
