My laptop is new and came with McAfee on it, and I used the free 90-day trial on my computer. The subscription is now up, and I want to download new antivirus protection. When I download the new one, do I have to worry about it conflicting with McAfee, or do I have to worry about deleting it? If so, how?

yes, you have to delete the McAfee first if you run both it will make your laptop slow . So if you using Window XP go to START >> CONTROL PANEL >>ADD AND REMOVE SOFTWARE >> then find where it says McAfee just double click on it there and a message will pop up for uninstall need additional help u can email me or im me @ ll_xx_hani_xx_ll@yahoo.com

Never delete a program remove it by going to add/remove programs in control panel. Yes you need to remove McAfee before installing a new Internet Security software.

you need to go to the mcafee website and download their removal tool to get rid of it,mcafee is bloated rubbish

you need to start pc in safe mode then go to add/remove programs and un install all mcafee software one by one then reboot pc in normal mode again then install new anti-virus program. mcafee has to be removed in safe mode so it’s not running anything.

Before downloading new anti-virus you must uninstall another anti-virusprogram,otherwise there will be definitely a conflict.
To uninstall go Start / Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs.
