[Ham-Computers] Which Firewall?

[Karty, Steven]

Marty,

I had a very bad experience with McAfee Anti-Virus when I tried to
un-install it:  It corrupted one of the files I needed for E-Mail access,
and it didn't completely un-install itself.  Although the McAfee technicians
sent me a message of five pages of instructions on how to remove the rest of
the McAfee Anti-Virus files, they weren't of any help in figuring out what
went wrong with my E-Mail.  Their only suggestion was to completely reload
Windows.  It took me several days of searching the Internet to find a
Microsoft bulletin about which file McAfee corrupted, and figure out how to
re-install that corrupted file.  

The McAfee technicians acted like it was my own fault for un-installing one
of their products, because I wouldn't have had the problem if I'd left it
installed.  But the only reason I had un-installed it was to install a later
version of their same product from scratch.  I'll never install another one
of their products on another computer, but I still have a copy of their
Anti-Virus leftover on another of my computers:  Although I've disabled it,
I'm afraid to try removing it.
