Hey people i have recently signed up to sky broadband and im unsure of how to get McAfee. I actully already have it on a 12 month subscription which is due for renewal this month so i have the software already. Does this mean i just need a code of sky or what?

Stay well clear from McAfee it is absolute pants the same as Norton is.
Both can really screw your system up if your not carefull.
Only want to offer my advice at the end of the day but you have been warned.
Who would you use then?
Ditto.
I spent 3 hours early this morning putting McAfee on my parents computer, and hooking them up to Sky. The software failed to installed correctly on four occasions...this was on a brand new computer.
To the OP: when u install it, try to do directly from the McAfee site rather than the Sky site.
I really didn't like putting it on their computer ...but what is a good the alternative?
And Zone Alarm Free if you need a firewall.
Agreed about firewall (although the vista one is an improvement). Also as stated above get zone alarm. Also nothing really to worry about as the router is already a type of firewall.:)
Fair enough. I have never had any problems with McAfee though. I guess you have to have a pretty good system to start with and make sure it is configured well. Having said that this newer version of McAfee seems a lot better than the old one. We use AVG at work and I hate the way the updates pop up when you are trying to write an email!
I got it free for a year so maybe I will change it to AVG next year! lol
