A few years ago I bought the all new, all singing and dancing McAfee Suite. I took it home, installed it with absolutely no problems whatsoever.

Next day I switched on and spent the rest of the week rebuilding the machine. Got on to the McAfee helpline at the cost of an arm and a leg, explained, they did some checks, walked me through a re-install. I spent the rest of the week rebuilding the machine. When they offered to walk me through the install again I told them what they could do with their product.

It was absolutely the most secure thing I've ever used. It stopped the machine dead in its tracks. I have avoided McAfee like the plague ever since.

As for NIS, I get more problems, complaints and questions from people with that on their machines than anything else and you try fully uninstalling the darn thing. Almost as easy as getting rid of AOL.

Odd, I have McAfee on mt rig and it's flawless.

It nearly ground my laptop to a halt when I first got it, but that may have been because it'd got everything enabled.


btw Jaybee, the Bit Defender and Ewido combo's looking good. No more problems with my laptop.

Why do you keep MacAfee on your system if it's slowing it down? Or is it like Norton, the very devil to remove?
