I killed McAfee. It was good in it's day but it's become bloatware.
I consider Norton AV a very insidious virus in it's own right. It is insidious because it convinces you to buy it and install it willingly.
I use AVG nightly, AVAST installs nicely as a subordinate AV, then I occasionally run Spybot and Malware Bytes. No one utility truly stops or removes them all.

What is your opinion of Kaspersky, Laz?
Any good or a waste of money?

I keep Sypbot Search and Destroy, and Spyw
I had
Online Armor++ before I had Comodo, and I may go back to it.
I'm also thinking about
Bitdefender Total Security 2012.
I've had Norton before, with Internet Security Suite Premiere and Norton Security Complete, but found out that they were not very good.
However I do like
Norton Ghost for backup.

CORRECTION:
I keep Sypbot Search and Destroy, and SpywareBlaster up to date and "Immunized" and I like them.

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.
