    Is it me or is this the worst virus software ever? Pops up constantly and keeps asking to allow websites....maybe I need to tweak it but my Norton on my dimension works great and I forget it's there.....anyone else have a headache with Mc****pee...

    I don't prefer it over anything but it's free with Comcast internet so I use it. The funny thing is that I have less authorization pop-ups than when I was using ZoneAlarm.

    What I don't like about McAfee is the fact that it has at least 5 processes that launch at startup.

    Well you can disable some of those pop ups, and the warning.

    Mcafee is a great in my opinion, had Nortan and it just killed my computer...
