Not sure there is anything wrong with it. Only thing is make sure you have a genuine copy of your operating system before you download and install it as it will 'report back' to MSoft any illegal bits of software you are running on your system (Microsoft only of course).

Not used it so I cannot comment.

Been using MacFee for several years now. Normally works out at 29$ year with special offers. Only time I have had a problem was when the wife didn't realise that she had to leave the notebook on long enough to get updates.

I've never used "paid for" antivirus or firewalls. I've used Zonelabs, Zonealarm free firewall for years. Used to use AVG antivirus until it got a bit too resourse hungry, now using Avast. Never had any problems (touch wood).

Have a look at this site for info on loads of free software.
