I have to agree with the bloat comment, and I would add "unnecessarily intrusive" into the list as well for NAV, at least on the non-enterprise level. I used to like their products, but now I just can't recommend them. I routinely remove and replace it with no regrets, typically with AVG for home users. If the Enterprise edition has remembered to keep a small footprint, stay invisible and not inject itself all over the place without asking first, then I'd be willing to take a look at it, but the home version? No thanks.

As for Mcafee, I have Never seen any machine which has not been literally crippled when using the full suite of programs. I simply use AVG awith the windows Firewall as most people have a router with a built in firewall anyway so don't really need anything else. Anyway, the threat to most people comes from adware these days anyway. Dave Crozier No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
