<description><![CDATA[feketejim posted : I just did the switch myself.  I was concerned about whether I should remove the old Norton package before installing the McAfee, and their website recommended that.  But the McAfee installer recognized the AT&T Security Suite (including Norton) as "incompatible", and removed it before proceeding with the install.  I have no idea how good a job it did uninstalling the Norton (notoriously insidious...), but the McAfee installed quickly and with no apparent problems.  I'll test drive this a few days; we have Norton 2007 (non AT&T) installed on my wife's laptop, and the subscription runs out next Saturday.  If I'm happy with McAfee, I'll load it up on that machine, otherwise, I think i will put Norton 2009 on both machines, based on good reviews i've seen]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[jordanair posted : Well I'll take what ever position I want.. the key is free.. company can switch all it wants to as far a 64 bit during the time Norton came out the only versions that had 64 bit was some of the free versions like Avast and I belive AVG...  and also most folks didn not even have Vista in the 64 bit version only the small group like us.. AT&T, nor Comcast  does not write software programs such as anti virus packages... and as far as switching vendors you might want to ask some of the Tier2 folk that are on this site for the reason of the switch.. I for one think it was the suppot from yahoo and norton that casue the switch.. I also think that ATT wants to have a Vendor that if the problem is in the software that they will take the call and not an ATT tech I know when I worked there we had to escalate it to Yahoo wheo then would escalte to Norton.. too many steps uninstalling other software well that is another story I don't think they will ever work for all pc configurations.. some folks have multiple trial and active versions on thier computers..... i have not bought a retail package for some time now but I don't belive the retai version provide an uninstall package for other vendors , I think they will alert you that you need to uninstall them before installing thier software though ... as far as which package is the best everyone has his or her opinion but the ISP can only pick one that it provides.. all I'm sayiong is it's FREE period don't work for you get your own... like most of us have.. I am happy with AVAST  and have been for the last 3 or 4 years...]]></description>
