the privacy centre is useless... They would be better off just giving their customers Anti-Spyware scanners.

I like McAfee. I've had compatiblity issues with AVG, and Norton is just too invasive.

I work for comcast tech support and this is going to cause nothing but headaches for us. you would be amazed how many people call in to us at comcast because their computer monitor won't turn on. Now comcast/mcafee is handing out this garbage so that users can call in and blame comcast for giving them viruses (or not protecting them). (BTW dnthomps what call center are you at? I'm at CVGSTJ)

I've used McAfee for years and it was GREAT until ... the last month or so. I support over 4000 PC's in my own business and I have found that if you have a Celeron 1.7MHZ or an AMD Duron your performance will be so poor you'll want to throw away your computer. McAfee lost most of my business because not everyone has a Pentium 4 or higher to run the newer version or (sdat) and the only thing to do is buy antivirus software that does not decrease the performance so much you can't even use it. Comcast also made a MAJOR mistake allowing it to happen because everyone is going to blame them as well. If you have a P4 your going to be ok. If you have a Celeron, Duron or PII or low speed PIII you better download AVG free because Mcafee and Comcast will KILL YOUR OLD Computer. NO FAIR >>>>
