Remove McAfee/Install AVG???

Is it as simple as this? Go to *control panel* - add remove software
-
select McAfee - select remove. Download and install AVG free version?
Have had troubles with Big Mac; time to renew, but AVG is free and is
recommended.
Is this a good way to go? Thanks, Ron (r...@cox.net)

it *should* be that easy... sometimes it isn't that easy to remove an
anti-virus product (norton av is a prime example, though i hear that's
supposed to improve with the new versions coming out) but that's the
process i would try first... if it doesn't work there might be a special
removal tool for the software just as there is for nav...

Would strongly urge you to reconsider jumping into the fire with AVG
and suggest looking at other alternatives

remove download and run it
