Both computer security software are good but it all depends on the type of computer that you are using, the operating system, and what you are using your computer for. I for one use AVG internet security suite 8.5. I have also used Mcafee Total Protection but, I have discovered that for my windows xp pro system running on Pentium 4 that, it tends to slow down my PC. So if you are a gamer or you like playing media related files, then you need something that doesn't slow down you PC performance.

I have developed a computer security system that ensures me safe internet use and a secure connection. I use multiple computer security software tools and techniques that keep me safe online without slowing down my system. Software and tools that you should consider adding to either mcafee or avg (when you eventually pick one) should be, but not limited to:

  1. superantispyware
  2. spywarebalster
  3. malwarebytes anti-malware
  4. winpatrol

I learnt a lot about computer security software from this: http:/hubpages.com/hub/Computer-Security-Software-Tools-And-Guides-For-Fixes-Protection-And-Prevention-For-Windows

Is avg anti virus compatible with mcafee?

AnswerMany people believe using more than one anti-malware program will make a user less likely to be infected with malware but these people are extremely wrong. If more than one anti-malware program is running and installed they can interfere with one another leaving you less secure. Therefore, choose either avg or mcafee and uninstall the other program.

Mcafee firewall slow computer?

Mcafee is by far the most space consuming piece of crap you could have on your computer it is not worth the price remove it and get kaspersky internet security 2009 and yes Mcafee slows down your computer CharlesK --> I play combat arms and i absolutely love it, i decided it would be a good idea to have some sort of Security on my Laptop to preserve the decent speed of my Laptop. I decided to get Mcafee Antivirus 2010, BAD IDEA! Mcafee is such a big file that every time i tried to play the game it lagged terribly, I restarted my laptop and uninstalled a countless number of files hoping that my game would return to its normalcy when i finally decided to uninstall Mcafee, my game was running better than ever. I decided that the price of Mcafee wasnt worth the price of the bad gaming experience.. MCAFEE STINKS. And that's all there is to it. NEVER USE MCAFEE!!! >:( PS: i have vista 32 bit on my laptop, if that helps. :D
