Ditch McAfee.  It's bloat/crawlware.

Firefox + AdBlock + NoScript.  Disable JavaScript globally and use
NoScript to enable trusted sites.

Benefit: No longer have a need for antivirus software.  Or at least you
don't need it constantly consuming copious amounts of RAM/CPU cycles.
Just scan once a month or so.  Lather.  Rinse.  Repeat if necessary.

I still scan my computer from time to time with NOD/Spybot and have yet
to come up with an infection of any kind in 2+ years.  Virtually all
exploits (at least as far as browsers are concerned) come from
JavaScript, VB Script, and ActiveX injections.

If you use a different browser, then I guess you're stuck with the
antivirus and spyware software.

My $0.02.
