[QUOTE="mac57, post: 260869, member: 17052"] Ughhhh! McAfee literally trashed my machine a few years ago, and I will never use it again. Shortly after installing it, it popped up a dialog one day telling me that several files had been compromised, and offered to fix them. I clicked OK, and a huge list of files scrolled by, being "fixed" one by one. The list was too large to take down and I quickly lost track of which files were being operated on. Long story short - my PC wouldn't boot after McAfee's "fixes". Like a physician, their first duty should be to do no harm. Instead, they trashed the machine. Thank goodness for backups, because ultimately I had to reload Windows to get my machine back. McAfee has no place on any computer of mine, ever again. If you decide to use it, be forewarned.
