I'm kind of glad it's gone. Now my brother will quit downloading everything and painting a target on our house for the FBI.

No, it won't.  I have never encountered a virus using KAT.  I only download from folks that have a good community reputation and are a verified uploader.

Uninstall Mcafee and cancel the subscription. I work on computers for a living and I am telling your that better off having no Anti-virus than having that garbage software.

Was just about to give my 2 cents on Mcafee, but you worded that quite nicely.  :aok

Not really.  Not for the consumer grade McAfee product.  It really does make a mess of a computer.  I wish they would pull that product off the market for all the damage it does to a computer.

Mcafee and Norton are resource hogs that slow down your machine and do virtually nothing when It comes to "Protecting you computer". Microsoft Security Essentials is really all you need. Its Free, its user friendly, and it doesn't your eat up nearly as much processing power.

I really don't know how they get away with selling such a defective product.

Still terrible advice:

http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/security/384394/microsoft-security-essentials-is-designed-to-be-bottom-of-the-antivirus-rankings

McAfee and Symantec do things beyond baseline signature matching (which is essential these days). Personally I dislike the entry level McAfee products, but their enterprise products I would rate top of the line.

Symantec I don't do much with - apart from hearing generally good feedback on it (I believe they changed their ways in 2011/2012).

No AV is absolutely stupid advice.
