Computers actually work better with only one anti-virus package on it. Not two. Or three. Lots of blue screens are caused because the computer has multiple anti-virus packages on it and the user hasn't removed the one that came with it when they bought the system.
They also work better with a decent anti-virus package on it. Blueyonder/Virgin PCguard does not count. PCguard is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard and it's always amazing why people use it when the system has more pop-ups and "system" announcements in two seconds than I've had hot dinners in twenty years.
Norton is only very slightly better than PCguard, on the basis that it at least flags up a tracking cookie. McAfee on the other hand, is so useless these days you have to wonder whether people who write software reviews are using the same version of McAfee that are protecting other people's computers. Introduce McAfee to a computer that is choked and it will find absolutely nothing wrong infection-wise with it. Why do people persist in using it?
