I also think Mcafee is not worth the money.
Use Avast! antivirus & Comodo firewall.

now dat u hv already wasted ur money on mcafee do not continue doing mistakes by keeping ur lappy (in)secure with it.
go 4 avg+zone alarm +adaware...dat shd b gud n dey all hv free versions

n dis is one heck of a combination:
nod32+zonealarm pro + ad-aware pro. though all of these r paid
bt do uninstall mcafee if ur a decent internet user

Go for Avast antivirus, it is really good apart from being free for home users. the automatic update will update almost everyday and that's good.

-its free
-its skinnable-
its low on resources
-its simple to use

Avast + Zone Labs Firewall
The best according to me
