  1. I’ve with NatWest and use their online service. Don’t remember them ever offer me free AntiVirus.

    Cheers for the link.

  2. I downloaded it, I saw it in Raymond’s blog.

  3. Well, McAfee is pretty effective. To me it came as an option with Vista that I could install right then and there. Yay for McAfee!

  4. Hey thilak, It didnt work out for me, after registering, My account said, You dont have any registered products.

  6. Nathaniel: I got Norton with my notebook. Both Norton and McAfee suck performance wise. Right now, I’m using AVG 7.5 free.

    that is what it says,

    waste of time and effort

  9. I’ll be honest, I’ve never been happy with any of the big anti-virus companies. I leave my personal computers surprisingly unprotected, though it may be time to start reconsidering that.

  10. I use trend micro. Which is better Mcafee or trend micro?

  11. arun: I guess, the offer has expired.

    Stefanie: Hmmm… I was just like you, until I got my vista notebook with free one year license of Norton Antivirus. It was such a bloatware! I jumped on to Clamwin and then moved over to AVG.

    Eva White: Frankly, I didn’t try both. I’ve seen McAfee on my brother’s notebook and TrendMicro on my friend’s computer. By looks, I can say that Trend Micro doesn’t bloat as much as McAfee. Have you tried AVG? It’s on top of my favorites list.

  12. good to hv this
