People can say what they want but McAfee does no suck when it comes to detecting and cleaning/removing viruses, trojans, worms, etc.... everything you just said is joke, i used to use mcafee, and while it was very very easy to use/setup kaspersky is doing a much better job. i believe NOD32 and kaspersky are the top 2 anti-virus right now, last time i check mcafee was #7. virus's while using mcafee = 3 or 4 resulting in format/reinstall of windows virus's while using kaspersky = 0 so the only ones from mcafee were serious enough i had to reinstall windows =\ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/578088-aol-ditches-kaspersky-for-mcafee/page/2/#findComment-588748517 Share on other sites More sharing options...

L3thal Veteran Posted August 2, 2007 Veteran Share Posted August 2, 2007 ^ That still doesn't mean AOL should dump Kaspersky because of name recognition. They are only shrinking the AV market when they go ahead and use Norton or McAfee instead of the better, more efficient alternatives such as Kaspersky and NOD32.

Guzman Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Well I downloaded and installed it. I have to say I am initially quite happy with it. I had AVS on my machine, but after reading all the CHKDSK issues people were having (mine had a short pause at stage 2) and how this could be a real problem I uninstalled it and re-imaged my computer and put f-secure back on (free from my ISP). Well with the new F-Secure (2007) I was having firewall problems....it would disconnect me from my Cable internet connection about once an hour. So now to this. It takes less resources than F-Secure, with the same features (virus, spyware, and firewall). It probably uses 20-30 MB less RAM, and about 30 MB more RAM than AVS and Comodo (or any other firewall) used. So bloat is not a real issue. It is not a very userfriendly program, you really have to hunt for advanced settings (I assume made that way by design). It's detection rates, while not as good as Kaspersky or AVS, are still quite good, and you get a free firewall too. I for one am happy with it (so far).

ZonoBurk Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Maybe their "contract" or agreement ending with Kaspersky. Or perhaps Kaspersky is the one that dumped AOL.

The only thing worse is Norton. Tell me about it. Our corporate network uses ePO and McAfee. It's like twice the nightmare. I usually just disable mine. :wacko: A few years back we had a chance to switch to something else, but no one wanted to commit to distributing something else, so they decided to just 'upgrade' to the newer version of McAfee. What a mistake that was. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/578088-aol-ditches-kaspersky-for-mcafee/page/2/#findComment-588751030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
