    It is not a good idea to have two anti-virus programs or two software firewalls running at the same time. Having two of either will most probably cause conflicts and a decrease in system performance - and may even cause your system to be less protected rather than more.

    If you were actually referring to the Comodo Firewall and not the whole of Comodo Internet Security, firstly, ensure that your version of McAfee doesn't already include a firewall, or that you know how to disable it before installing a separate one.

    Take note though that while Comodo Firewall is highly rated, it is probably suited more for the advanced (and patient) user - I personally find it a pain-in-the-butt to use. Online Armor Free is very good and is fairly user-friendly. Outpost Free is even easier to use and probably suited more for the beginner/novice. And while I haven't used it myself, PC Tools Firewall has been performing *very* well lately.

    I was advised against Mcafee years ago. Most PCs bought in the UK seem to come with this installed as standard. On advice from my IT nephew I un-installed it and installed AVG Anti-virus (FREE). I have been using it for 3 years and found it to be excellent. It hasn't missed anything yet. It has daily updates and doesn't need any annual registration.

    I had that too then whilst Norton 360 got here out i regarded at CNET's overview and that they looked as though it wish it. I had norton a on an identical time as in the past then switched for McAfee for the reason that norton fed on my ram. Norton 360 would not do this which i'm very surpised approximately. attempt 360, i think of you will like it.

    Kaspersky internet security or Bitdefender total security is the best one out there.You should try instaling one of them .

    Comodo is also good ,but not as good as these.And mcafee

    just sucks big time.And never install two anti virus in one computer
