Ever try un-installing either McAfee or Norton Antivirus?
Well, they can pretty much only be removed by a techie.
Which is a pain if it is already installed on your new pc's.
This is one of the reasons, after extensive research, I concluded that Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite is the best option for home users and small offices.
I am in no way affiliated with any of these three companies!
One of the few drawbacks ZoneAlarm has is that it does not provide a centralized administration option like the other two. Which means, you can not update and check the status of multiple installations of Zone Alarm from a single pc, YET!
This drawback is greatly outweighed by its pros, which are too numerous for me to list at the moment. A few are: it uses Kaspersky Anti-Virus, its less straining on pc resources, easy to install for average people and it can be removed or un-installed from your pc if you decide to go with another vendor.
Update: here is what McAfee says you should try to do to remove their product

yeah, i had this problem with Norton. I couldnt uninstall it in order to install AVG so I left my pc open for a few weeks and it got infected bad. :(
I learned my lesson though
I like the zone alarm suite cause it covers everything and actually uninstalls!
Like Jake... I have used AVG for years. Norton and McAfee are instantly removed from any PC I use. Just make sure you don't go without some type of protection.
I have found both norton and mcafee to be absolutely rubbish. Free versions of AVG are better! For those who wish to purchase security software i recommend NOD32.
it sounds like these programs stick to your pc just like viruses, lol
