Tool of the DEVIL, a pox on who created thee, and boils to anyone who installs such a horrid thing.
I just spent 2 hours killing it on a PC loaded with spyware, trojans, and all manner of internet baddies.
NOW I can finally start really cleaning the thing. Yeah I know, I know, just re-format, but it is an older mechanic's PC, him and the wife only have dialup, and know very little... unfortunately they let their 16 year old high school drop out nephew use it / install stuff / surf the web. (he's been kicked out of the house since)
I can't kill it with the fire of format, they need all their AOL settings, and crap.
Gotta love the sweetheart at circuit city that they went to, told them the problem, and recommended / sold them Mcafee. what a tool. He makes me actually angry.

Retail products suck, the corporate stuff is actually pretty darn good.

I use Norton Corporate along side Ccleaner and my machine stays in very good health..

When mcafee expires, it slow's your computer down to a paper weight. Never again. :mad:

PC Tools....
Threatfire is amazing... and free. Day one protection no one else offers. Read the industry reviews. Don't install it with AVG antivirus on your machine... Not compatible.
Spydoctor with Antivirus is outstanding. License for three machines for one small fee. Registry Mechanic is another great tool. Their personal data cleaner is very good as well.
My regards,
Widewing

Err threatfire kinda does what mcafee corp/enterprise does (and has done for ages). ie behavioural protection.
