    I have a copy of Command AV and also Mcafee, I think I like Command better as it is quicker and uses less resources but does anyone else have any views or info as to which is more reliable.

    Thanks

    IMHO go for McAfee.

    Much better protection;)

    An excellent reason for staying with CSAV as your primary scanner ;)
    Therefore, use Mcafee as your backup scanner to CSAV. This would be a good combination.

    I am assuming that you are talking about the Home version of McAfee and not the Enterprise edition.

    It's a close call for me, but I would go for Command AV. My reasoning is along the same lines as BlackCat stated for using it as your main scanner. ;)

    Note: I have used them both. I believe they both offer good protection.

    I will stay with CSAV - as the other reason I am put off Mcafee is the Active X issue, I am unaware of any other AV asking for Active X to be enabled so it can update itself or communicate with IE (FIREFIX USER) and as you are aware can and in most cases does create a security issue.

    Thanks
