[QUOTE=JohnR;844360]Mike - be sure to backup the new system to an external HDD.
AV: Free AVG or Microsoft Security Essentials (been using on my work PC as an eval)
BE SURE TO UNINSTALL MCAFAEE COMPLETELY FIRST!!!![/QUOTE]
Yes , but not so easy. Before I put Kaspersky on the old computer , I put a big effort into removing the Symantec Corp edition security suite. I downloaded the Symantec removal tool and ran it. I then did the normal uninstall using the control panel add/remove functions, I then went in manually and removed all I dared .
When the C drive started its meltdown , I backed up mail etc and I ran Belarc to capture all I could like keys , etc.
Even after all the effort to unistal the Symantec product , Belarc showed it was still present. believe it or not , it also showed the real time protection was still running!!! Unbelieveable.
