Hello Forum: Top Choice site rates BitDefender anti-virus tool as best on market.  Rates McAfee as 3rd. Anybody have it? Is it better? .  If so I am not renewing McAfee. If I can get better protection for a better price I will switch. Also,McAfee CONSTANTLY annoys with renewal reminders for their Firewall which I do not have.  I am USING Windows Firewall.  The reviewer SAYS that McAfee does not protect the registry and that BitDefender does. My McAfee subscription runs out in 2 months. Any advice would be appreciated.   I am using Windows XP. ,  IE6.0, Dell Dimension with NetZero dialup. Thank You!AVG and Avast are both fine products and both offer a free version.
I run AVG.

patio.  AVG for me too.  Make it unanimous.Thank you all for your advice. I did not know that anyone gave away virus protection.  As I type this McAfee is popping up again to remind me to renew something I don't have ! Does AVG have updates, etc.? I never heard of it but am willing to try it based upon what you have told me about it. Thanks again.Avg can be set to update and runa scan automatically...mine grabs the update at 4 A.M. and scans my system at 5 A.M. and finishes just in time for my morning coffee.
