I have to agree. I was a Mcafee devotee since way back in the early dial-up BBS days, when we used it to scan our download libraries. This summer, I got an email from someone saying, "hey, why did you send me this document?" I hadn't sent him anything. I thought; "uh oh." did a scan of the entire PC. Nothing. Did a manual check and found a bunch of EXEs that were bigger than they should be. Uninstalled Mcafee. Installed Norton. It did a scan and found over 70 instances of four different viruses that Mcafee never even twinged at. I did the same to my other two PC's and my laptop, and it found viruses on ALL of them, ALL of them had been running Mcafee, and had been happily chugging along.
I ditched Mcafee and now run Norton exclusively. At 11:41 AM 12/4/2001, Brad Bond wrote: >It worked fine for awhile and then Mcafee would crash everytime I turned >around.
