I have issues right now with the adware program “SavingsC00L” but it won’t uninstall and Live Safe/Security Scan Plus don’t flag it as an issue. How do I figure out what I need and don’t need. I only have one PC so I don’t need to protect multiple devices. I assume “Total Protection” provides less protection than McAfee Live Safe and Security Scan Plus. It’s a lot less expensive than Live Safe/Security Scan Plus, but I can’t tell any differences. The McAfee website promotes most prominently McAfee “Total Protection”. However, on McAfee’s website I cannot find any “WebAdvisor” download. Security Scan Plus has virus, spyware, firewall and threat detection protections, but it says I have no web protection and recommends I install McAfee WebAdvisor. I’m uncertain what are their differences and whether I need both. It came preinstalled on my HP desktop all in one. I have been using McAfee Live Safe and Security Scan Plus for a couple of years. I am having a lot of difficulty understanding McAfee’s different products and what they do.
