Mount Airy, MD | McAfee VirusScan Sucks I wish we didn't have to use it at work... nothing I can really do about it of course, but it still sucks nonetheless.

| McAfee products have traditionally caused more problems than they solve.
If one examines 10 years of Symantec's consumer products, it's a worse picture.
Judging by my last Symantec Corp uninstall, their Enterprise line has become troublesome as well.

I still don't see any practical reason to use any third party anti-virus solution for Windows, at least at the desktop level, now that Microsoft Security Essentials is out there. It works very well for desktop installations and it simply removes the need for any other solution.
But yea... Norton/Symantec/McAfee... all garbage, and in some of our server installs, it isn't even effective at doing its job!

But their detection rate is good now and it causes less problems that most A/V packages.
I'm installing it now on most machines - except for older/slow systems.
They get Panda Cloud (minus crap-ware) as it is lighter weight and behaves well enough.
