Just use one software. Which one is up to u. maybe McAffee is a memory consumer but is a good one. If it not just antivirus - and it like firewall +spyware + antivirus i dont see a reason to remove it. just keep it untill ur subsciption ends and then u find out what to do. u can use a free antivirus plus free programs for spyware and intrusion protection or u can renew ur McAffee subscription.



p.s: yes u can install more. In some cases it will not work together, but my advise is not to use more than one. There are viruses that some antivirus dont find and stuff like this but just use McAffee, its good for home use. Give it a try, although i prefer Norton :-)

NEVER install more than ONE anti-virus program on your computer. Each program will react to the other to your constant disadvantage. AVG is the only anti-virus program you should use because it's the best and it's FREE!
antivirus software packages often do damage to each other do to their investigative nature. As was suggested above... uninstall McAfee and install AVG Antivirus from Grisoft. The free version is fantastic.
Only one anti virus software at time will work fine. Keep it updated online, so that your pc is protected from the new virus threats.
Remove McAfee and install either Avast or AVG - it's best to only have 1 antivirus at a time.
Juz install one and update it regularly....more antivirus softwares will slow down ur PC
There is no need for more. However may I suggest you try AVG Free as opposed to McAfee. It is a much better overall program.
