There's really no need to pay for any security software for a home PC. I've got the following running:
Firewall: COMODO Firewall Pro.
Anti-Spyware: Spybot Search & Destroy.
Antivirus: AVG 7.5.
I have Spybot and AVG scheduled to perform daily overnight scans, and I've never had a problem.
One additional note - AVG recently released version 8.0 of their software, but it seems to be a lot more resource intensive than previous versions. After a few system hangs I rolled back to 7.5 and the problems ceased. 7.5 is still fully supported with regular updates.

How easy is it to delete McAfee off a PC, will this cause similar issues to uninstalling Norton?

Shouldn't be an issue.

I kind of got that impression
I tell you what.....my PC has speeded up massively, Web sites load faster and things like MSN and Outlook load a lot faster, just hope that is because nothing is being checked.

I am another advocate of AVG, also use Sunbelt Kerio Firewall, as it most configurable free Firewall you can get. Unfortunately on the Wife Vista machine I have to use ZoneAlarm as that is the only free one available for Vista that I would trust. I have used Comodo but prefer Sunbelt Kerio.
