Mcafee is by far the most space consuming piece of crap you could have on your computer it is not worth the price remove it and get kaspersky internet security 2009 and yes Mcafee slows down your computer

I play combat arms and i absolutely love it, i decided it would be a good idea to have some sort of Security on my Laptop to preserve the decent speed of my Laptop. I decided to get Mcafee Antivirus 2010, BAD IDEA! Mcafee is such a big file that every time i tried to play the game it lagged terribly, I restarted my laptop and uninstalled a countless number of files hoping that my game would return to its normalcy when i finally decided to uninstall Mcafee, my game was running better than ever. I decided that the price of Mcafee wasnt worth the price of the bad gaming experience..

MCAFEE STINKS. And that's all there is to it. NEVER USE MCAFEE!!! >:(

PS: i have vista 32 bit on my laptop, if that helps. :D

Is windows 10 compatible with Mcafee?

Don't use McAfee, use another anti virus program. It may be compatible, but you only need one and McAfee likes to install itself as an add on with other downloads and then attracts adware etc and constantly runs in background. McAfee and Norton are 2 you should never use. Whatever you do use set it on manual, then do it yourself once a week and as necessary so you control when it runs. Since these programs can slow a computer or conflict w/windows programs just use one reputable one


What will you do if the mcafee installation stucks on a brand new computer?

Remove it. Go to the add/remove programs in the control panel of a windows computer. Find the Macafee programs and remove them. In my experience it is not worth the money and tends to slow the system down and get in the way. Download a free antivirus to take its place. Avira or AVG


Why do you have to install roblox?

Your computer might not be right for roblox so the computer is blocking it, so your computer doesn't get slow. Try turning off your pop up blocker and making an exception in your firewall


Is mcafee secure search better than avg?

Both computer security software are good but it all depends on the type of computer that you are using, the operating system, and what you are using your computer for. I for one use AVG internet security suite 8.5. I have also used Mcafee Total Protection but, I have discovered that for my windows xp pro system running on Pentium 4 that, it tends to slow down my PC. So if you are a gamer or you like playing media related files, then you need something that doesn't slow down you PC performance.I have developed a computer security system that ensures me safe internet use and a secure connection. I use multiple computer security software tools and techniques that keep me safe online without slowing down my system. Software and tools that you should consider adding to either mcafee or avg (when you eventually pick one) should be, but not limited to:superantispywarespywarebalstermalwarebytes anti-malwarewinpatrolI learnt a lot about computer security software from this: http:/hubpages.com/hub/Computer-Security-Software-Tools-And-Guides-For-Fixes-Protection-And-Prevention-For-Windows
