Avoid McAfee like the plague. I've used McAfee for a few years now, and
the latest versions are embarrassing. They slow down your system like
God knows what, the VirusScan never seems to really catch any viruses,
and it's caused my Windows installation to malfunction (to the point
where I've had to format + reinstall) a few times now.

Just my honest opinion, McAfee SUCKS. What you have now is a lot better.
