 Pre-installed anti-virus vs. Microsoft offerings - JohnM{P}
Am trying to setup for a friend a new laptop which has anti-virus/firewall already installed (McAfee). I was going to install Microsoft Security Essentials (or AVG) and turn on the Windows firewall but Windows7 seems to be insistent that McAfee is controlling security.
So, Questions are:
Should I just get friend to cough up for McAfee?
If not, what is the sequence of installs, enabling and removal, to replace it?
(Off-line de-install McAfee, on line enable Windows firewall, install MSE or AVG?)
Thanks!
