    i recently had a spyware problem that locked my machine up and would'nt allow mcafee to run (don't know why it did'nt catch it in the first place). i ran avast home version from a cd and it got me going again. i would like to ditch the mcafee av/firewall but i want to make sure avast is adequate first. my question is, can i just turn of the mcafee program for now or do i need to totally remove it?
