Is this a good deal from McAfee for computer security?
£45 one year
£85 2 years
£125 3 years
I have a new computer and I have never done this kind of thing before, I am quite suspicious of ‘great savings!’

I would advise against purchasing McAfee (it’s nearly as bad as Norton). There are better alternatives available (also cheaper–even free). Kaspersky or NOD32 are the best (recent tests at av-comparatives.org). If you want a free anti-virus I recommend in order of popularity, but please choose the right one for you (install only one):
1. AVG Free
a. A simple interface (easier to use than Avast! and Avira)
b. Can detect about 82.82% of viruses
Cons: low virus detection
2. Avast!
a. Real-time protection
b. It has an option to delete a virus once found
c. Can detect about 87.46% of viruses.
Cons: Too many icons and confusing user interface
3. Avira AntiVir
a. It can detect malware better than Avast and AVG
b. It’s cute umbrella icon
c. Can detect about 94.26% of viruses
Cons: A very sluggish update
AVG Home edition is free and a better program as far as I am concerned.
I don’t like McAfee or Norton.
McAfee sucks, its not really that good and is a real resource hog. It will slow down your computer. Use the free antivirus program avast or AVG…
You can just download free version of AVG Anti-virus… It’s free and it’s legal! It is updated too… Good luck! God Bless!
Ok, I have the full suite because I am takeing online coarses, and it is a great product. I dont know the exchange rate of the cash, but in the US the full suite is around $60 or if you are going to just use it for general support, you can get a lower version in the US for about $39 if you know the exchange rate it may help you.
McAfee is a good product – but you don’t necessarilly need the whole Suite they’re trying to sell. What are they offering just the Firewall/VirusScan option for?
I the US – it’s only $39.
