Worst Antivirus


I have tried out Norton, Panda and many more, but McAfee is THE worst AV. I was never able to update it since i bought it. I contacted their customer support dozen times but to no avail. I had to reconfigure Internet explorer, even that didnt help. Morever I coulnt unistall it. I had to format my hard disk to get rid of it.
