Was anyone here affected by the McAfee svchost.exe false positive?

I got out of McAfee about 7 years ago, so no I wasn't affected.

I only plan on getting Norton Internet Security.
The test worked, but do note that my test site should be blocked by Internet Explorer and Firefox alone.

I've used McAfee. McAfee is a joke and I won't touch them again.

I've used Norton also. I'm not a big fan of Norton (due to previous experience), but I would use them again (thanks much improved software).

I'm currently using Kaspersky. I have no complaints so far.

Speaking of the McAfee false positive. My younger sister was affected by it. I had the (dis)pleasure of fixing her computer.

I'm only going with Internet Security because 360 is a little more than I need, and a little beyond my budget.

Besides, I back up manually.

I use AVG.
