McAfree Anti-Virus sucks!!

    So when I bought my laptop last September it came with a month or 2 of McAfree internet security. Anyway it expired ages ago but I never renewed my subscription or uninstalled it.

    Anyway today i just got sick of the pop up "please renew your subscription" so I finally uninstalled it.

    WOW!

    It's like I got a new computer. Everything runs like a dream. When i click on control panel everything pops up straight away. It's incredible.
    iTunes pops up in a matter of seconds - every program starts infinitely quicker!

    What the f uck was this crap doing to my computer?

    Nearly a year I was putting up with this s hit.

    I became suspicous when my sister recently purchased an Acer laptop with far worse specs and it ran a lot better than mine.
    Now I know why - f ucking McAfree.

    Just a word of advice to anyone who purchased a Dell laptop and got McAfree with it - it may seriously slow your system.
