Get your hands off a program with the name Norton or Mcafee!

Hi all ,

Norton of Mcafee , get your hands off them , they suck big time.
Trust me.

They are not good.
And that is for a few good reasons :

1) They take up too much system resources and they don't find much virusses.

2) They cost a lot of money , compared to other antivirus products.

3) They tend to slow down your system and cause many problems.


Just some good advice.


Greetings ,
