| McAfee goes crazy, frozen pcs after identifing a file of windows as a virus  | | | |  Seems that McAfee, our beloved anti-virus that everybody though it was awesome[not me, exchanged it like 7years ago for AVG since AVG cleaned stuff that McAfee didn0t and I trust more on stuff that work lool yep, even if lots of people are against AVG, I still prefer it to others :D] gone crazy and started to freeze pcs after seeing a file of windows as a virus.
This ended with lots of hospitals, school and companies having their pcs in perma reboot just in new york.
The problem doesn't happen to consumer versions but happens with others.
More info at http://news.yahoo.com/s/a...
So, who will now still use McAfee after this? Got already something like this that made you exchange anti-virus? I exchanged once when McAfee couldn't clean 32 different versions of a virus and a simple install of AVG = done in secs lol

| |  It does seem a bit ironic doesn't it? I will still use it. Everything has a glitch or two nowadays.

| |  You should try using ESET NOD 32 antivirus. Its much better and lighter than McAfee. I used to use Quick heal till 2009 but Quick heal 2010 isnt the best option right now. Even AVG 8 was good once, but used to slow down the system to a great extent.
Try ESET NOD32, it works well and doesnt slow down your system.

| | Already tested NOD32, failed on my tests with some crazy virus at my test pc when he cleaned it but not by the best way when compared to others since some could restore some exes and NOD just deleted all the exe that were contaminated with it but it runs really smooth and for some people it may be good. For me is an ok anti-virus, for sure at my top 5 just not the best.
At the moment the only that actually made something, to me, was AVG since it already saved my 2 pcs 3 times and for that reason I'm, for now, sticking to it even if like 30% of people don't recommend it.
You should see the most funny anti-virus software until now. I found Panda and Norton really funny.
Panda is hilarious: "Hi, we detected a virus at your pc at Panda Anti-virus' folder. We will now clean it" *panda dies*.
Norton the same: "Removing virus failed. We cleaned your pc from virus successfully. Have a nice day.".
Serious, that two things are funny. | | | | | | | Ask Tech Support Now 31 Tech Support Reps Are Online. Ask a Question, Get an Answer ASAP. Mcafee.JustAnswer.com | add comment | | | |
