Installiong antivirus

We just got a new computer running 64-bit Win8.1. I have a NOD32
subscription, so I want to install that on the machine. It currently
has "McAfee LiveSafe - Internet Security" running on it. I know
nothing about that program, but I assume it's an anti-virus of some
kind.

Following ESET's instructions, I downloaded the latest NOD32 version
and installed it. I didn't uninstall the McAfee product, their
instructions didn't say anything about that.

The machine slowed to a crawl, it was only barely possible to tell
that it was doing anything at all. I gave up and uninstalled NOD32
(which took a LONG time), and the machine runs fine now.

So...what is LiveSafe? Is it any good? Would the fact that both it and
NOD32 are running slow the machine to a crawl, or was NOD32
interacting with something else?

And is anybody successfully running NOD32 on 64-bit Win8.1?

Running two AV programs on a system will cause it to run slowly. IMO,
shared by many others, you never run two AV programs, only one. You
should have uninstalled McAfee first before installing ESET. If I were
in your shoes, I'd uninstall McAfee and then reinstall ESET - as long as
your intent on using ESET. The version of McAfee on your new computer
is most likely a trial version, you'll have to pay to keep the program
current.

As previously said you should remove one or the other.

If you decide on McAfee then you should check this site
