I've been using MalwareBytes for some time and am very happy with it.

We have recebtly accquired a new PC for use at home. For the last heaven knows how many years we've used AVG Internet Security on all our home systems, but I'm less than happy with trying to get AVG up and running on this new system. HP, in their infinite wisdom, installed a trial version of McAfee's competing product on the machine, and AVG fails when it tries to install itself in place of the McAfee product. AVG support seems to be unresponsive, and the advice from their forums is for me to remove McAfee before trying to install AVG. I might be prepared to do this, were it not for two issues: 1) several people who have tried this report that it still doesn't work, and 2) since AVG installs via a network download (rather than allowing me to create a standalone install package first, then disconnect from the internet) I'd have to have an unprotected machine with a live internet connection during the install, with no guarantee that I'd end up with a successful installation. Given that, and the lack of response from AVG support, I'm looking for an alternative solution. I've asked a few people I know for recommendations, and I've been pointed to either Kaspersky or Avast as good products. Nobody, however, seemed to think that relying on the McAfee product was a particularly good idea. Would anyone care to weigh in on the subject, and let me know what they would recommend for someone in my situation?
