Definitely dump BOTH of them. Google spies on you and McAfee is nothing but bloatware that doesn't do its job worth cr@p.

Definitely go with the Avast and instead of Zone Alarm which leaks like a sieve, is root-kitted and phones home with all your info. Replace ZA with Comodo Firewall when it comes out for Vista.

Dump Mcafee, keep Google if you like, but I prefer Yahoo Widgets over it. Go here to get a free anti virus, firewall, and anti spyware, . http://www.etech.co.nr
dump macrappy for sure - it'll sap the life out of your PC
I have Mcafee and I think this is OK.
