    my new Studio 1737 did not come with McAfee Security Center or Microsoft Office Home & Student pre loaded...have the discks...can I just pop them in my cd drive and install them? Should I do anything different first? Also noticed that my McAfee disck states..."This Cd only installs a trial version of your McAfee programs" any advice? :confused:

    There are better free programs out there than McAffe. Try AVG, Avira, Avast.

    Cheers mate! What about loading my Home and office disk? just a case of popping it in and go? Do I need to do anything first?

    I'll throw in another vote for avast! as a good free antivirus. I've used AVG before as well. It was good, just not quite as good as avast! in my opinion.

    As for the Office disk, yes, you should be able to just put the disk in, and go through the installation prompts.
