Yes, it is one lousy antivirus, instead of filter out virus, this software import virus into your computer to mess it up. Once you install this software, your computer will act out in a bizarre way, it take over your computer, automatically scan wthout your ex[licit permission and came out with fake negative result, there is nothing you can do to regain the control and at the end, the computer is gone. keep away from it before it destroy your compuer.

Personally, I don't trust this McAffee Antivirus. I also have this McAffee Antivirus just because it was included when I downloaded something in the internet. Anyway, I got no problem yet about this antivirus. So far I am not that being disturbed but somehow I find it irritating when it eventually pops out in screen trying to scan my files. I really have doubts about it. Now that you are getting virus, maybe I will uninstall this because it threatens my laptop.

Yes, i would suggest it as it was fine on mine for past 2 months but it kept poping up forcing me to scan and shut down (not in order) but have always used AVG as it is free and good if d\l from there site..but good luck i hope can get away before they get you, i just dont think it is a very trust worthy program.
best of luck
thanks for post cearn25
