hi there one and all! i was wondering if anyone else had tried to download the latest version of mcafee off limewire?? and if so, did the one's they tried all have a virus?
i'm pretty new to all this stuff, i usually leave it to others to do it for me
so i confused i can tell ya....

Man, I wouldn't even buy that one, much less try to use it unregistered.
When it came preinstalled on my computer the first thing I did was remove it.

There's free alternatives out there that are better than that, Nortons and ZoneAlarm. ;]

cheers for that. would you know the best place for me to get either of them from? told ya, i ain't much good at all this

What I meant was none of those three is worth a minute of your time.
They aren't robust enough to work with LimeWire or BearShare.

For antivirus, I suggest AVG Free Edition and for a firewall try Sygate Personal Firewall.
Both are free and a lot more reliable under pressure.

ok, i'm with you now. cheers for the links, i'll give them a go. ta

I wouldn't get Norton if I were you. In my opinion it sucks.

oh my god, what do i do!!?hee hee
i've had mcafee the last 12 months and got on great with it.
my regestration is coming to an end and my bro-in-law said he got the new mcafee off limewire. so thought i would do the same.......NOT!......tried it 3 times, 3 different files and got a worm????? with each one. i'm just so confused.com!!
which do you use?

We have McAfee Security Center. As far as I'm concerned it's worth the money and they often have deals for those who are registered with them. For example, my sister got 60% off of a two year subscription not too long ago. As for downloading it, I wouldn't. There are too many viruses lingering around so I recommend just buying it again. I hope this has helped.

yeh, you've been a great help, thanks. i guess i was just trying to save a penny, but you're right, it's to dodgy to take the chance at the end of the day. could end up costing me more than a years subscription, couldn't it. thanks alot.
