McAfee

McAfee is a family of anti-virus software developed and marketed by McAfee Corporation.

Why it Sucks

 * 1) The program is a software bloat on new Windows PCs.
 * 2) It acts a lot like malware - finding ways to corrupt your PC and make it unusable.
 * 3) It has the potential to slow down most computers by constantly using 25% of your system's CPU, causing the fans to run at high and loud speeds.
 * 4) The program can shut off internet access and prevent you from connecting to the internet.
 * 5) Like Windows Update, it starts updates or scans without your consent automatically at the worst possible times and you can't pause and/or cancel them.
 * 6) When the program asks you to renew your subscription, the popup appears behind all windows and if you click it, it immediately takes you to the desktop instead of popping up in front of all windows as most programs do.
 * 7) Additionally, the program is adware. The pop-up windows asking you to buy their subscription is pervasive and nonstop.
