McAfee's newest virus protection is worse than a virus.
It randomly starts scans or downloads that cripple my computer, it won't let me stop them without an act of God (or Microsoft, I guess), I can't shut the damn thing down... GRRR!!

Sorry, rough time. I'll be okay. Deeeeep breathes....

2. Saddest part is, you probably paid for it.
Avast AV is your friend. Your free, almost entirely unobtrusive friend.

3. I went from Trend to Kaspersky antivirus...
Freeware sucks, Symantec's is always garbage (or is since John W Thompson took over the firm), and McAfee used to be good...

What version o' Windows are you using?
