| Please Wouldn't surprise me if this was a Comcast rouse, that they leaked it themselves, in order to further push that crappy useless McAfee "Security Suite" junk on customer's computers. They've already been falsely accusing customers of sending spam in order to do that. Comcast must make a percentage off every unsuspecting customer they can install that garbage software on. |

I just had to reformat a friends laptop that had preinstalled McAfee on it. Rootkits got to it so bad that when I scanned it and found 50 viruses I couldn't boot the poor thing up. Nothing but Blue Screen Of Death! Something went wrong with the pci.sys file. I also noticed in the log after the scan was performed with Avira something about beep.sys infections. Anyways when I restored the laptop I made sure to uninstall McAfee and run the McAfee cleanup application to get rid of it completely. F.W.I.W there was 250 other detections when using Adaware.
Other installed apps that failed this computer:
•Syware Nuker
•SuperAntispyware
•AVG anti spyware |

Other installed apps that failed this computer: •Syware Nuker •SuperAntispyware •AVG anti spyware Yeah I hear you on that. I did the same thing but for them it had been going on for about 3 years (via the system history and data) with at least 2 different owners and a grand total of over 37,000 adware/malware/virus/rootkit/trojan/worm related files. It had turned into a zombie machine by the time I had come to it and was using the wireless connection to connect to several virus servers and downloading the latest on those every time it was turned on. It took a ton of work and some pretty shrewd fixes and rooting out as well as your standard extreme tactics (software and hardware) over 2 weeks. I sort of wish I would have thought to record a video of it just so people would know what happens when you figure you're just going to be alright before "surfing the internet" without even using computers before. BTW most of the programs purporting to be anti-spyware and anti-adware et al are none other than exactly what they say they get rid of. Unfortunate for those who figure they'll just download something and there are popups telling them "Click HERE to fix the viruses and spyware found on your computer". Sad.

I've never had any problems with viruses, and I also get around one thousand emails a day through my 50 email accounts.
Although I only use the Virus scanning, site advisor and Spam protection. I don't use anything else in the security suite. |
