Vipre or McAfee ??

It's time once again to renew my internet security software.

I'm currently running Vipre Internet Security 2014.

I did an online search for the the top rated software & came up with Vipre being rated # 1 on one site & McAfee way down on that list.

Another site rated McAfee # 1 with Vipre way down on the list.

Aside from cost & believe me, there is a significant difference. Amazon is running a promo for McAfee that is about 1/3 cost of Vipre. Cost is not as important to me as performance is.

Here's my question & this is between the two I have mentioned, I'm not really interested in any other software providers @ this time.

Which one would you choose ? Vipre Internet Security 2015 with password vault as an add-on or McAfee Total Protection 2015 ? :h

    I use McAfee because it comes free with our internet service. Have had it for years and never a virus so I guess it works well. Have not noticed that it affects speed any.

    AVG is free and works just fine for years for me. I hate all the problems I used to have with others like Norton and mcafee and the like.


    Yup!

    Norton and most other anti virus programs are filled with so much bloatware that all they do is slow everything down. 90% of the things in them are not needed and usually don't work right anyway.

    Thanks Guys, I just looked at AVG, but my question was Vipre or McAfee.

    Besides, the comparable AVG package is not free & is about the same cost as the other two.
