"Makes internet crawl and disables Windows Firewall"
Pros
Aside from firewall issues, the program is spectacular.
Cons
A bug has existed for over two months and support refuses to provide a workaround. Simply search for "McAfee firewall slow internet" and extensive forum posts will pop up. The bug makes connecting to the internet a hassle while extensively using system resources. The only workaround is to disable net guard to access the internet, but system resources are still used and connection is severely limited (e.g., frequent timeouts, unable to stream video, etc.). Even worse, McAfee Firewall prevents turning on windows firewall even when McAfee is disabled!
Summary
POS avoid until actual solution is provided.

I had the same exact problem for a while!!! I couldn't figure it out, so I went to msconfig and disabled some of McAfee's software (they have a cluster of sub-programs scattered around my computer) now I don't have to deal with it. Still replacing it though.
