"doesn't do a lot and is a resource hog"

Pros: free with ATT Yahoo DSL
Cons: picked up a virus anyway it still can't find. a huge resource hog with appx 10 processes running all the time. seems to run scans at most inconvenient times, slowing system to a crawl, and has this little update window that is pesky as hell.
Summary: I'm assuming this is the same program "mcafee security center" offered with ATT DSL. Used to give us Norton which I found to be superior. Immediately upon switch to Mcafee I noticed system slowed down with all these mysterious processes mcafee has in background, but I'm running an older system so that may not be the case for everyone. I guess you get what you pay for! Now adding AVG free and several other malware finders to fix what Mcafee still doesn't recognize (a trojan that keeps reloading- spybot programs find it but can't remove it) Overall not impressed with Mcafee.
