Hi

Just curious, as I have seen everyone here is hating on it. I got one year free license on McAfee Livesafe, but won't use it if it is that bad..

Well I don't like it because it's a resource hog, plus from what I've seen it doesn't have a good detection rate at all. I've worked on several computers that had mcafee & they were still badly infected.

Omg dude, I died laughing..This is an awesome example of how shitty mcafee is, even the guy own created it hates it.

For starters, it's just a shit anti-virus, and it's the equivalent of Windows Vista with constant "Are you sure?" questions.
It's like a clingy ex-girlfriend, and very difficult to get rid off entirely.
It's basically child's play to bypass it, and just overall completely worthless. That, and it nags you to absolutely no end.

Yeah, I remember watching this...John is some character.

OP, I actually don't really know. It's just annoying, shitty UI, bad detection rate (from what I've heard and remember)...

That video is hilarious. I feel the same way about Norton products too.

Yeah Norton was never great. I remember a time when McAfee was the recommended software though. Now it's just what these salesmen try and sell to you when you're buying a new computer, they act like an expert when it comes to infections but really they've no clue what they're talking about. 😠

It's a huge pain in the ass to remove I noticed and it would install on anyone's computer when they downloaded adobe a few years ago (well they could uncheck it but nobody would read that crap).

Basically malware that pretends to be a malware remover. Garbage.

It takes some extra usage, uninstalling is a bit tough & you always get those petty messages in the bottom right corner telling you to update your subscription, do a scan or whatever.

Never had the av always thought the founder was a little out of his mind though

We're talking about a company which predicts the downfall of ransomware in 2017. Clearly they're delusional.

I know you know a lot about security, so would you mind recommending me a AV software (if no firewall in it, which would you recommend?)

Paid or free is fine, as long as it's not very resource hungry, as I game quite a bit. :)

Thanks in advance and merry christmas.
