Do you hate McAfee?

Can't help wondering if Target endorses McA?

(They said that they tested for altered files, and the usual ways and more for pen-testing/prevention. I'm wondering where they hid their badboy. Maybe fuzzed something in a vendor account?)

I was updating Java and they tried to slip McAfee in but I was where to uncheck the box. DOB

We had a lot of trouble with McAffee at work, because one of our customers put it on their machines and made a mess of things (I think it was slowing the systems down so much that various processes would time out). At home I have Fedora, which is built on SELinux. That seems to be a much more effective and better-integrated approach. The only downside is that the NSA assists in the development of SELinux, so we just have to hope the non-NSA developers are smart enough to catch any vulnerabilities the NSA folks try to sneak in.

I ditched them back in 2003 or so. I bought it new on CD.

It updated.

It demanded I pay for it.

I got to chat with a rep.

They cleared it up.

Next day, update.

Demanded i pay for it...uninstalled...refund.

I still can't say enough about how I adore Malwarebytes, the paid version. It's pulled my butt out of the fire more than once.
