    This is the thread you are looking for. I personally use avira in combination with threatfire and it works great for me. I used to use the mcafee that came with my computer but i found that my system actually used less resources after i uninstalled mcafee and switched to Avira/ Threatfire.

    Config free is the utility made by Toshiba which manages your wireless internet connections. You can create profiles for different wireless devices that you need to connect to. For me i am only connecting to simple wireless n networks to get internet access so i have never found any use for the configfree utility, so i got rid of it. if you are satisfied with the vista wireless utility just get rid of configfree. Also by uninstalling configfree, if you find that you need it again later you can always download it from the toshiba website and it might even fix the problem you are having by doing a reinstall.
