They are paying in 1p 2p and 5p coins I heard, great way to get rid of spare change.

McAfee are very widely used in Enterprise level security. Its probably a good move.

what he said. it's eating about 50MB of my workstation even now, and I can actually do stuff because the scan isn't running

McAfee eats into my productivity nearly every day and it has false-positived servers into oblivion in ours and other organisations. There's better firms to buy.

We have McAffshit here too, and our network manager claims that we can't have the auto update time changed from 17:00 because 'that is when McAfee publish their updates'.... every day at about 5:15 my machine collapses into an disk-spinning spack attack of enourmous proportions. Our network manager is a totally stupid ****, make no mistake. Stupid cunting tosser.

At least your organisation doesn't use the bloatware called "F-Secure"
