PC Guard Total or Renew McAfee
What are peoples thoughts on PC Guard Total? As an L customer I am entitled to the full suite or would I be better renewing my McAfee Total Protection for another year?
Thanks,
Ben

How do you rate Microsoft Security Essentials then. I am trying the beta version and it seems a basic package but has no email scanner.
