Hello,
To make a long, painful story short, I have come to the stunning realization
that:
(a) McAfee is a piece of @$!%! bloatware (direct experience -- holy cr*p,
there are twelve! programs running in the background!),
(b) per some quick Internet research, everyone else already knows this, and
(c) per that same research, Norton is just as bad.
So, looking for some alternatives. Free or pay is OK. BitDefender looks
good, what about AVG? Thanks.
Thanks, D |
