My laptop, bought through my University, came with a version of Trend Micro OfficeScan installed on it. I've just found out that the school I'll be taking a few classes at over the winter break offers McAfee. In fact, it requires McAfee be installed in order to access the internet in certain buildings on campus. Connecting wirelessly won't be a problem, but I am wondering now if maybe I should just install the new anti-virus program and not worry about possible connection problems. But before surrendering my current one, I thought it worthwhile to find out if one has the edge over the other in any ways (namely, the security of wireless connectivity is a biggie to me). Thanks for any and all input :o).

Hi!
McAfee is, IMHO, the best AV software. In fact, I installed McAfee on all machines that I use. Never had a problem with a virus.
Note: I use McAfee Internet Security Suite!
Good luck!

mcafee is a good one, make sure you have the trend micro uninstalled before you put mcafee on as they will conflict.
trend micro is a good choice as well but mcafee has better protection
