So McAfee itself really IS a virus! =D

No McAfee got it right, Windows is the virus.

I don't get how stuff like this gets past testing, I never do.

McAfee is singly the worst piece of software you can install on your computer. With as much of a resource hog as it is, you might as well just run the PC with malware and spyware.

Man my work was hit so hard by that it was utterly insane here. We are still working on peoples systems today trying to get everyone back to working condition.

I'll add another company to the Sh!t Software List, HP. /RAGE

All I need to do is drop bits of expensive ink on a page. Why The Fuck do I need constantly updated software that extends boot times by a minute to do that?

Worse than Norton? Damn, times have changed.

But it's better than buying an Apple product. Because although there are far fewer issues on my Mac than on windows, motherfuckers will rip your fingers off trying to buy an apple product. /getaMacAndGoodSecurityGuard

ROFL

So glad that Comcast dropped the free McAfee for its users and went with Norton instead. So much better. Had a McAfee update problem - the update didn't finish - and boy, did it ever f-up my computer. Spybot did most of the work when I had that P.O.S. software back then, too.
