I'll try to answer your questions as best I can. I'm not too smart when it comes to computers so here's what I know. It can be very dangerous to have two different anti-virus programs running at the same time. They can see one another as a threat and they try to eliminate each other. Your computer can go into a loop and actually crash so you can't do anything else. It's very wise to remove an existing anti-virus before trying to install another.

Click start > control panel > add/remove programs. Scroll down until you see McAfee. Click on the name to highlight it and you should see a button to Change, Remove, or Uninstall. Click on the button and follow the prompts. If you don't see McAfee listed in the Add/Remove section, click start > all programs and look through your main menu and sub-menus for McAfee. When you find it, right click on the name and you should get a shortcut menu with an Uninstall or Remove option. You might also see something called ReadMe. The ReadMe file gives info about the program including uninstall instructions. I'd suggest reading this before doing the actual uninstall from the menu. Once you've read the instructions you should be able to just click uninstall and follow the prompts. If you don't see McAfee in the Add/Remove section or anyplace in the menu, I'd suggest contacting McAfee for their expert advice. This link will take you to McAfee and there's a "contact us" link at the top right.

Once you've uninstalled McAfee, you can install the anti-virus program of your choice. The two main ways to do that are by inserting a manufacturer's CD disk into your reader or downloading the program from the website to your computer. My personal preference is to use a CD because that way if something ever happens to your computer where you can't get to the website, you still have a way to get info and maybe even connect with the company via the disk. Either way, you'll get instructions on how to install. Just follow the prompts.

Fonts are different styles and sizes of letters so when you compose documents and sometimes even emails, you can change how the individual letters and words look. If you have windows XP you have a whole bunch of fonts already installed that you can access when you're preparing a document. You can look at the top left of your document screen and you should see something called "Format". When you click on format another menu drops down and you can click on "fonts". You can play around with this by clicking start > all programs > accessories > notepad. Notepad is a simple word processing tool but you'll see "format" on the top and you can practice using it.

Templates are usually prepared documents that let you "fill in the blanks" to create personalized letters, contracts, etc. They're usually available with more advanced word processing programs (like Microsoft Office Word). You find the template you'd like to use, save a copy of the blank template to your hard drive, and then use the copy to edit, "fill in the blanks", and customize it just for your use. When you've made your changes you save it again and you've got the finished document ready to be printed out or maybe sent as an email attachment.

Finally, some applications use an export and import command to save and restore information. For example, if you wanted to change the Windows registry (which is the brains of the entire operating system), you'd probably want to "export" or save a copy to a CD before you do anything. That way, if you make a mistake editing the registry, you could "import" your saved copy and reinstall it so your computer will work the same way it did before you changed the registry.

Hope this helps and I didn't confuse you too much. If you have Windows XP there's a really good help and support section available. Click start > help and support. When the screen opens there's a search option at the upper left. You could type in "fonts" or "import", click on the green arrow, and in a minute or so Microsoft will pull up all it's info about that subject and usually give examples of how it's used and what it looks like.
