I was in the same boat as you are now Archie. I decided to change over to Norton. I have found Norton to be extremely user friendly. The program goes out of its way to remind you to update your protection, and was very easy to install the program itself. The only problems I had in the transition from one software to another is when you go to install Norton, you will be required to turn off and uninstall all of McAfee's program for Norton to work correctly. Though this did not cause any conflicts on my machine (Gateway Pentuim II) it was a hassle. Hope this helps. If I can help out any further dont hesitate to ask.
