Is it my imagination or is my PC loading software considerably faster than
it was? Yesterday, mid-afternoon in UK, McAfee downloaded an update, which
wasn't its normal weekly update and ever since then start-up etc just flies
through. So fast in fact that I checked to see if the AVG is still enabled
and it is. Has anybody else seen an improvement?

Maybe the update disabled McAfee? That would explain it.

Shouldn't run more than one AV, friend. Pick one, preferably AVG, Avast or
ETrust, and stick with it.

Sorry, my mistake. That $20 offer is for Antivirus only. The full package is
$30
