Security

Windows Vista seems to have it's own security built in. My computer also has
Mcafee installed. Can I uninstall it?

Thank You

Mcafee? Most here would recommend that you do, then install one of the
quality free anti virus apps such as AVG or Avast.

Mcafee, I'm having all kind of networking problems. Maybe this has something
to do with it. I have tried everything that I have seen in the networking
discussion group. I'm sorry I bought computer.

Hi,

If you talking about Windows Defender then you have to remember that it is
NOT an antivirus - it's just a anti-spyware software. In Vista there is a
few security related features but all are build-in in x64 versions.

You should have an antivirus but before install check if it is for Vista
system.

PS. AV vendors often write that " ...is compatible with Vista... " - I've
got a doubts if it's mean that is working on this OS or just working and
crashes not too much ;-)

Yes but make sure you install another AV program. Suggestions are Avast
(free), AVG (free) and NOD32.
