Solved: avast install removal Mcafee
My Mcafee security installed by Dell runs out in Dec. 2008. I am thinking of- may be replacing it with Avast or something similar or even buying a new Mcafee package on ebay.
Do I uninstall my current version of Mcafee before installing new, and if so will my pc be unprotected and vulnerable to attack during this period.
Any advice or help would be appreciated-I am running Vista home basic.
