McAfee says that their service can be installed on desktops and servers including Vista (I know,) and that it is “compatible with all mail applications”. I’d rather install some clunky widget software bloated with malware and advertisements than McAfee’s Total Let Down Service. It’s not a corporate solution like they say – it is at best, a beta, trial, help us make money piece of junk. This is not a consolidated solution in the least. Oh, by the way, you cannot force updates to machines like you could with Norton like 6 fucking years ago. DAT files are out-of-date (which will be most of them.) And that’s about it. You get an overview of the crap it’s found – which is mostly cookies. You basically get a neat little web portal to login to that shows all the computers you have protected by this steaming turd. Things seemed to work fine, there were a few features I wished were there that weren’t, but I figured it would only be a matter of time before they implemented these features. I gave McAfee Total Protection a try using their trial version. So one day I was looking for a more consolidated solution to protecting several machines on a network.

You fail so miserably I cannot put it into words. I’ve wasted more time on this than I have anything… ever – that’s remarkable in itself. I’m constantly in contact with you and un-installing and re-installing (in various ways) this pathetic excuse for protection. Instead of concentrating on all the other tasks I need to take care of. That’s why I mistakenly chose your piece of shit product / service. I do have the knowledge, but don’t have the time for this. What makes this kind of funny / sad / frustrating is the graphic they use to help sell this heap of fuck. I spent more time helping their “support” groups troubleshoot the clearly released-to-soon turd than I did not worrying about threats to machines. The current versions suck so hard I actually ate the loss money-wise and got rid of this fucking joke of a service / product.
