| It's "McAfee", and it sucks!! I just removed McAfee from all my computers after I had to help my friend reformat his computer. He had McAfee, and McAfee let 3 viruses/trojan horses through!! So, there's no way I'm installing that crap just to get a bandwidth meter. Heck, as far as I've heard, Comcast doesn't strictly enforce that bandwidth cap unless you're in the top 1% of bandwidth hogs!! |

No Virus scan program is 100%. although I never had any problems with Mcafee on my six machines. although I did switch them all to MS Security essentials even though I still had ten months left on the six mcafee licenses. |

I personally have found McAfee to be a resource chomper. |

I think having to pay an annual fee should raise a red flag. Isn't that what the malware AV writers do? Install some bloatware on your computer and make you pay to remove it?
Seems one of the same to me  .
I personally have been using AVG, and now I am trying out Avast on my Windows 7 laptop. |
