McAfee upgrade?

Postby born_2_fly » Mon Feb 19, 2007 6:52 am

Those of you with McAfee, what do you think of this upgrade? Personally I think the older-style security centre was easier to use  ::)

Does it actually offer any benefits in antivirus detection?

Cheers,

Alex

The new one really isn't that much better than the old center, however to get the updated virus and spy definitions you have to update.   The new firewall seems to be better too.

As for AVG. F*ck it. Panda if your for freeware.

I kind of like the new update. The little bar on the upper-left part of the screen tells me if any websites cause spam and stuff like that.  :)

We all get the other update.....

Does the new McAffee spam you constantly trying to sell you upgraded versions of itself?  That's what I hate about my McAffee.  For some reason it thinks that because it's the spam filter that its own advertisements are not spam.  And I can't block the McAffee spam with the McAffee spam tools.  I had Norton and it did the same thing.  I can't stand either of these two pieces of crap.  I'd rather be spammed from other companies that I've yet to give my business to instead of paying for the privelage of being spammed.
