The free McAfee subscription with my PC has now expired and not too sure on what to do?

Annual renewal is

I have always used AVG and i have had zilch when it comed to viruse's etc.
Althought I suggest also getting Super Anti Spyware ( yes it is actually called that) As that clears a lot of cookies and such

Other ones to consider (but are not free) are Zone Alarms and Bit Defender.

AVG free for me too, and it's had a good write-up in the tests I've read. Latest free version seems a bit odd about clearing tracking cookies, so I was thinking of adding a separate spyware detector. Spybot is another free one that I hear good things about.
