    McAfee app installed
    « on: December 21, 2011, 08:45:03 AM »
    I've just installed the latest Foxit Reader - this download included "McAfee Security Scan Plus", which I suppose is a virus checking program.  I am a bit wary of this -  I already have Avira Anti Virus, and Malwarebyte, and Super Antispyware - I don't want to have a conflicting av program.  Is the McAfee app. any good or would it be best to uninstall?   Advice appreciated.

    McAfee Security Scan Plus actively checks your computer for anti-virus software, firewall protection, and web security, and threats in your open applications.
