Repeated requests to McAfee for help getting their software running
again have gone unanswered! Program got into trouble and wouldn't
load to it was uninstalled and reloaded twice and attempts to start it
show the same error message. One message from McAfee was received
with sounds of wanting to help was received and it has been sent back
3 times. I used Norton before switching to McAfee and am wondering if
there are other options available.

I have been using the free version of AVG.

They have pay versions as well. I have tried several other virus filters.
But AVG has done the job for me. The strongest point in its favor is that it
doesn't load my machine down and slow the computing. Which is important for
my applications.

The only downside is that it does take a bit longer when using my new spam
filter. But even then, it doesn't load the machine down and everything gets
done like it is supposed to.
