McAfee AV vs. the others
Tell me. Tell me all about McAfee AV vs. the others. Don't just say "It's better" cause I KNOW McAfee sux.
It's for someone else. Who think it's the greatest cause she's never gotten a virus. I tell her "You don't know if they don't find it" (upon installing Kaspersky, it found 80+ virii that McAfee missed) So tell her. And tell her why. PLEASE before she renews.

PC World magazine did a comparison test of the well-known antivirus programs.
McAfee came in dead last in the comparison test, because (1) it failed to identify most of the test viruses used, and (2) of the viruses it did identify, it actually failed to remove/ quarantine half of those! McAfee's performance was pathetic. You already showed her how infected her computer was, and how ineffective McAfee is. The comparison test done by PC World shows that your results are absolutely correct. If she isn't persuaded by these results, then perhaps covert action might help..

Mcafee has the same issues as norton does too much bloat and both have some issues finding viruses according to Max. PC. I had AVG for years but recently my computer and my sis in laws computer got hit with some viruses yes multipule that AVG did not find until too late the odd thing is I dont think the 2 were related as I was never connected to her computer or email in that time period. I now have zone alarm extreme security that uses Kapersky for its AV. Also look into Threatfire it is a good free AV.
