?? why wouldn't you need anti virus software with a mac?
sure there are fewer mac viruses because macs are a much smaller universe than pc but there are lots of mac specific viruses out there.

they do NOT give you a disk, if you want it you download norton from the comcast.NET site.

I was at Sam's place and they have a salesman there. I can get most channels PLUS the NFL package so I can watch the New England Patriots without sitting in a barroom.

I'm with ewstanley. AVG is the way to go.

Thanks BigLew and LI you guys have been very hepful

Choose the one u want

I've been looking at Comcast pkgs and they seem rather resonable.
Question I have is I'm reading that with the DSL McAffee anti virus comes along with the deal. I just installed and paid for AVG anti virus. I know you can't have 2 anti virus software at the same time but can I choose not to install McAffee. Any help would be appreciated.

Just go to the delete function on ur computer and remove the one u dont want. I agree with you I use AVG exclusively but I use the free version and have had absolutely no virus problems that it didnt take care of. Its not necessary to waste ur money when the free version works perfect and I download stuff 24,7. Be careful of what u download cause of copyright infringements. The way to get arould this is a program called MASK SURF PRO . THERE IS MANY MORY BUT i LEAN TOWARDS THIS ONE:beer3:
