[MACEP] McAfee Anti-Virus

[Mike Ely]

Thomas,

You might want to consider other brands.  I've had some unpleasant 
experiences with McAfee, and Norton is just a big fat pig where system 
resources are concerned.  I've had good experience with F-Prot, and I'm 
sure readers here have other brands as well that they like.

Cheers,
Mike

PS: Smart of you to consider McAfee's bias toward Idiot Exploiter - that 
should be a big giant red flag to anyone that the people who developed 
that particular app are careless and lazy!

I can understand that one may need IE to download McAfee, but does that mean once installed it ONLY works when using IE? Or, that it will not work with Firefox?
