antivirus software question

[sensiblelydia]

Hi, I had McAfee on my PC and laptop. I had to reformat my laptop yesterday and the guy who did it uninstalled McAfee from both systems and installed ESET NOD32. He said it's better but it does not have Firewall protection. My question is: Can I re-install McAfee and - since I paid for NOD32 leave that on as well having the two programmes at the same time on both systems???
Tks, Sensiblelydia

Firstly you should not have 2 antivirus suites running at once on a computer as they can conflict and actually reduce your protection rather than enhance it.


Secondly your installer is right - ESET NOD32 is far better than McAfee, and if you upgrade to ESET NOD32 Security Suite as opposed to just having the Antivirus, then you will get a Firewall too.

Comodo Firewall is a free utility.
