Thanks guys. I've always avoided McAfee in the past, just wondering if
this freebie from Cox had any worth. My wife is using it despite what
I've told her.....Free is a dangerous lure....
I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials (and MBAM). They use Kaspersky
at work, but after I found out their server (Kaspersky's) had been
hacked so well, they had no idea how long it had been hacked, I decided
against them.
What's good now?

Wow, that's pretty scary. Over the last 5 years or so, MSE went from good to
adequate to practically worthless. Most AV tests now use it as the baseline
to represent inadequate protection.
For Steve: avoid McAfee. Protection is adequate but system impact is
atrocious. Kaspersky and Bitdefender both have top notch protection without
killing the system. I've had some weird issues with Kaspersky, so I'm moving
to Bitdefender exclusively. I strongly recommend running MalwareBytes
AntiMalware (MBAM) in addition to AV protection. In practice, I think MBAM
is probably more effective than AV, but both should still be used.

The company I work for (about 63k employees, so not small) did an internal
study and has now switched totally over to BitLocker (instead of PGP) and MS
Security Essentials (known as System Center End Point in the enterprise).
It's all I've been using for years and best of all, it's free :)

Cox is offering McAfee for free for multiple devices. I've never thought
very much of McAfee, but would this be worth it?
