But first make sure that everything you need to do can be done on a Chromebook; for me there are some lacks that are deal-breakers for making mine my main machine.

My new Lenovo X220 came with 30 days of McAfee LiveSafe. For a year's subscription, they want a "special 50% off price" of $39.
So far, it has seemed obtrusive and not hogging resources (but then, I've not transferred anything over yet.)
Is this a good deal? More important, is this a good program, or should I uninstall and put on FreeAVG which I'm currently using, reasonably happy with (except for the annoying and too-frequent pop-up upsell offers and the need to reboot too often), and is, uh, free. I don't know what the current thinking on the best programs are and I know this is a very moving target.
My previous (well, actually current) X220 came with Norton and what an awful experience that was -- twice it crashed winsock on three family machines and it took much futzing to get the internet back.
