AVG good alternative to McAfee?
My McAfee anti-virus software (Internet Security Suite) will be expiring soon on both my xp desktop & vista laptop. I'm considering replacing both with the free AVG 8.0. Can I count on AVG to do as good a job as McAfee, or am I better off renewing on both, despite the cost? I'd sure prefer to have free software if it's as effective.

AVG is a good alternative to McAfee and it is free.
