McAfee's comments on antivirus

Question

Several people out there don't seem to like BT's antivirus offering ~ not quite sure why, maybe because it is resource hungry, breaks computers, doesn't do a very good job of finding or removing viruses and can be a complete pain to uninstall.

“I am now everlastingly grateful to Intel for freeing me from this terrible association with the worst software on the planet. These are not my words, but the words of millions of irate users,” he said, adding, “My elation at Intel’s decision is beyond words.”
Also some find his video on the subject funny: I don't really but it makes the point he isn't keen on the software.

Here's a challenge for you. Do an Internet search to see if you can find any information, other than from ISP's who are either offering it for free or getting a fee to promote it, saying anything good about it or reviews where McAfee comes out on top.

 Conclusion
McAfee represents a reasonable value. It provides solid protection for home computers. It includes a two-way firewall, along with several extras. The UI is touch-friendly and performance impact in minimal. Scanning times are fast. Any qualms we have are minor. it could be a bit easier to start a scan or to get to settings, but we found no issues with the software's performance and features. We're happy to recommend McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2014.
