Re: Computer virus going around...
I got out of McAfee about 7 years ago, so no I wasn't affected.

I speak my mind, if you don't like that oh well. I'll have you fill out a hurt feelings report and submit that to my office.

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.
Re: Computer virus going around...
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.TRAINMANKIGHT wrote:Luke go with norton 360 it will back up your computer and go though emailmlgillson wrote:I've used McAfee. McAfee is a joke and I won't touch them again.
