Bud Laman wrote at 21.01.2012 - Rating: bad Good point is it comes free on a new computer. Bad point is I've had 2 viruses both times with the free McAfee twiddling its thumbs. Now it even comes with a viral shortcut that keeps reinstalling itself on your desktop that , apparently, even their Research department can't fix. You can actually chat with a techinician but it doesn't help most times.
