IMO, it's worse than the McAfee they used to have. It updates any time it wants to. I wish I could figure out how to make it update when I'm not working. It slows everything so much, from the uploads and downloads, to actual typing on the screen, etc. McAfee used to automatically update when I wasn't working unless there was an emergency update, and even then it was nowhere as near as slow as Kaspersky. I thought it could be the old computer they sent me 3 years ago (a very, very used one with not much of a drive) but I don't want to rock the boat and try to get a new one. Tech support doesn't seem to think I have a problem. Doesn't pay to complain to them.

What Antivirus Software Do You Use? I Work Nov 11, 2010for a hospital who supplies the PC and it has McAfee on it. If I'm able to manually perform a scan on the PC, I have no idea how and I have had problems with malware, spyware, and trojans three different times in the last year. McAfee has never once popped up to tell me about a potential virus threat. So now I am tempted to buy my own antivirus software and load it onto the PC even though we're not supposed to do that. It's getting ridiculous though and I a ...
Suggestions For A Good Antivirus Software? Jul 15, 2011I have just spent the better part of my evening waging war against a very pesky and persistent virus called backdoor.cycbot. After several scans in safe mode, I think I finally got it, but now a bunch of my desktop icons are gone and on my start menu, when you click on the program name, there's nothing, just the word "empty." Long story short, I had manually find all my programs through Windows Explorer and creat a shortcut on my desktop for each and every one of them and I stil ...

System Pro Antivirus Nov 30, 2009Somehow I have gotten this virus on my laptop and when searching for ways to remove it on the internet (on my desktop), all the sites are either extremely comlicated or want you to download things in order to remove it. The problem with downloading is that I can't even get to the internet on my laptop. It blocks anywhere I want to go but brings up constant pages of porn. Any suggestions on how to remove this or do I just need to take it in somewhere???

Thanks For The Antivirus Advice May 10, 2010I just wanted to say how grateful I am for this board. I posted a few weeks ago how I hated Kapersky and how it kept updating while I was working and stalled my computer out. Some great advice was posted on this board about exiting the program and running when YOU want, not when MQ decides to run it and also names of other virus protection programs other than Kapersky (and McAffee which is just as bad). I tried exiting Kapersky which worked okay, but I finally removed it and in ...

Antivirus Scam Alert Feb 25, 2014On 10/8/13 I downloaded Antivirus Security Pro per instructions and they immediately charged my credit card $99.99.

Company-required Antivirus... Nov 09, 2014has crashed my personal laptop 3 times, at a cost of $220 to me so far for repair, and makes it so slow that I cannot use it.

I am able to work with this at a slower pace so far but am unable to otherwise use a very expensive laptop that I purchased myself.
