Mcafee ?

hi
why is everyone posting so much bad about mcafee,it is a very efficient virus protection and removal software along with other functions,and i will tell you why i chose mcafee: my mother is boss in a large international corporation who makes colours for plastic,the company name is Clariant,it is not so big here in denmark(where she is leader)but very big in europe in general,and they run mcafee on all their computers,and i thourgt there must be a reason for that,they got like all big firms very sencitive information stored.It is a fact that Mcafee has the highest detection rates in the world today:99.9%.And on top of that mcafee total protection can scan and remove many kinds of spyware and malware,in paticular trojans who as far as i know is the most common infection,one thing is for sure it has saved my system a number of times.As i see it,mcafee only got one downside,price,and i am no expert but it is my oppinion.
Kind Regards Asser:)

hi again
i was not correct when i said only one downside,there is an other serious problem,it uses all of my cpu when scanning.sorry for this minor interruption.

hi
i do not understand because on the mcafee website it says:mcafee runs quietly in the background spearing recouses and maximising computer performance,to be exact.

That's marketing talk. Show me one antivirus website advertising its product that doesn't use these exact same (or similar) words.

You may have run into one of the reasons others dislike McAfee, or you may not have configured it properly (most antiviruses can lower their process priority or CPU usage percentage).

I honestly don't know since I'm another non-user.

Marketing {& Test Results} should be used as a guide not as indisputable evidence.

FYI...
McAfee is frequently implicated in BSOD's.
{ & some other AV programs also}

Everyone needs to have this one written on their foreheads. Permanently.

If you are so convinced that McAfee is the way to go why don't you just buy it?
