> Another fun McAfee tip
Here's my favourite one, which was even supported by the man himself: uninstall it as soon as possible!
It's not only a pretty bad antivirus, but seems to be straight up dangerous, having had some of the most destructive bugs I've seen in any software (like the time it bootlooped millions of PCs around the world- including hospitals and police stations!). There are so many better options available, I'm amazed anyone actually uses it (unless 100% of their install base is people who got it preinstalled).
- hyperman1 5y agoYou're my new best friend! I'd give you the contact for corporate IT, but even they ran away to MS Defender. McAfee's users are not the people who suffer it on their PC, but the manager who love a big name and hate a migration, and the windows domain admins who love the centralized console. The damage caused by user frustration, lost time waiting, troubleshooting, and actual hardware obsolete before its time is not their concern. I can tell from experience the windows domain admins disable it on their own laptop, as they 'know what they are doing', unlike the rest of us.
