Is Avast recommended over the Cox Security System which provides McAfee antivirus?
Yes! The panel does not recommend any Internet security suites. Pick the best individual programs such as Avast for antivirus and SpyBot Search & Destroy for spyware detection and removal. Some of the other software to avoid (they are resource hogs and will slow your computer) include Kodak Easy Share, Trend Micros Pc-cillin and any of the Internet Explorer toolbars such as Yahoo, Google, etc.
