Patti, McAfee has been ripped to shreds by Ed Bott, a prominent tech journalist, so you'll be wise to ditch it ASAP. You said you don't want free, but Microsoft Security Essentials, a free program, really does a great job. I'm pretty tech savvy,and even with my careful browsing, sometimes things happen, and MSE has popped up to protect me on more than one occasion. If you really want the feel-good protection of a paid program, Eset's NOD32 is a great product, although the setup seems to be geared toward rocket scientists, but it's fairly cheap ($30-ish? for a year subscription). Symantec's Norton Internet Security has also gotten its product under control, and gets rave reviews, but it's expensive ($70-ish). I really think you'd be happy with the Microsoft product. Since it's free you have nothing to lose by trying it out. Hope this helps.
