My McAfee Virus Scan year is up in a couple of weeks and I think I want to install AVG instead. Will I be likely to have problems if I install it while I'm still using McAfee? I'd like to try using it for a couple of weeks before I quit McA, but obviously don't want to run into any compatibility or uninstall problems.

I would definitely un-install McAfee first.It is a bit "tricky" to run 2 av programs on a system.You absolutely want to avoid running both at the same time.Regards.JB

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll wait to install AVG 'til I get rid of McAfee :) Any comments-good or bad- about AVG?
