I hate downloading new serious programs - there is always something wrong with them and they always make it worse, not better. I had McAfee too for a while and it was fine, untill one day it downloaded another update and started crashing my laptop! Every time it scans my system for viruses, it crashes. And McAfee actually released an email admitting their screw-up with this updated and giving a link to download a fix. I downloaded it. Guess what - didnt help. Called - they told me to uninstall the whole thing and try to install again. Tech support is SOOOOO useless! Sometimes it's easier to try and fix it yourself, being just a user! Or even better - get a friend to fix it, if you have a computer geek friend :)
Right now we are still trying to get our new laptop to work the way we want it to. Uninstall some useless programs + change start menu and desktop etc... And by the way, Norton Antivirus is giving an error message all the time on it - and we still havent fixed it. So annoying - I have a new laptop, but I cant use it yet, untill it will be all set-up, althought they were supposed to set it up at the store and they did, but they set it up very shitty so it needs to be redone...
