I killed McAfee. It was good in it's day but it's become bloatware.
My ISP, T/W RoadRunner, gave me Computer Associates AV for free over the last 5 years.
It worked but it really slowed my (2 year old) PC, most notably, while booting - took 4 minutes.
A few months ago, my ISP switched to McAfee AV (2011) so I was forced to use it or pay for my own AV.
Install was a snap, my PC boots in under a minute and the PC runs fast as hell.
BTW, you really shouldn't be running two AVs on the same PC.

I'm aware of this, however, Avast has a 'subordinate AV install' mode that IS compliant and capable. I run AVG, and Avast in subordinate AV mode.

I only occasionally run spybot and malwarebytes, there's nothing I keep resident that would interfere with my main two AV's.
