My computer came with a McAfee free trial. I don't want to pay their prices and I'm happy to uninstall it. I also got a security package that appears similar from NTL (Netguard?), my broadband provider.
I just want to have one package that does everything, that doesn't conflict with other programs and that doesn't cost the world. And it is also very important that its virus protection is up to date and not inferior to other products.
Is this possible?|||There is no free package as in a suite; you have to use seperate products.
You need to install one firewall.
