McAfee apologizes for any inconvenience to our customers :lol: Yeah that'll work.

878926 2010-04-21 22:01:00 Using McAfee? That's a bit like admitting you use Norton's isn't it? :D
They're as bad as each other.

878927 2010-04-21 22:02:00 Antivirus update paralyses computers




So no different than the way MacAfee Bloatware v6 . 5 usually behaves then?

Or maybe Symantec bought them out?

:rolleyes:

878928 2010-04-21 23:15:00 I never used it.

McAfee is worse than Norton. I used Norton for a few years until I finally realized how bad it was, but it never did anything like that.

Though maybe that was because it never did anything anyway.

878930 2010-04-22 01:50:00 Nothing wrong imo with AVG I would put avast in the rubbish bin though. Never had so much trouble with a bit of software than avast. I dont know much about mcafee had Nortons for free with new computer for 2 years had a couple of issues. prefect (6291)
878931 2010-04-22 02:18:00 Ive had no trouble with Avast. Ran trial on 50+ pcs here, no problems at all.
Had AVG before that, untold complaints with slow pcs....Never picked up anything for ages

Have upgraded to Nod32 in the office now, all good so far :) has been picking up the odd trojan virus etc, at least you know it is working if it is picking stuff up with 50+ pcs around.

878933 2010-04-22 03:25:00 The TVNZ image shows XP :p

I used McAfee once, but only because it came with my Dell PC. Once the trial expired, I installed Antivir.
