I have uninstalled the free programs that you had me get online, because things got so sluggish I was affraid that I wouldn't be able to get all of them (in order to replace McAfee) without the computer freezing on me.
McAfee is expired and I am considering removing mcafee and then downloading the programs that you suggested, just to try and replace it. I really can't afford a new subscription to McAfee right now.
To double check you suggested SpywareBlaster IE-SpyAd and MVPS Host?
Along with and antivirus and a fire wall?
My biggest Question is: Will my computer be more likley to run slow with just the McAfee or with all of these other programs instead.

I see in my Program list I have still got Kapersky loaded in my system from when I did the scan. Do I still need that?

When I did Panda Active Scan I also got Active Scan Pro. Is this considered antivirus software? It was inexpensive, but I am really not sure exactly what I bought.
