    "Are There ZERO-Star To Rate This?"

    June 16, 2012  |   By privatejohn

    Pros

    There's None.

    Cons

    HEAVILY BLOATED!
    SLOWS UP PC.
    FALSE-POSITIVES AND FALSE DETECTIONS!
    HIGHLY EXPENSIVE WITH LOWEST QUALITY PIECE OF ****!
    Need A 4GB RAM Just For Detecting Malware. (YOU **** ME?!)
    LOTS OF BUGS And ERRORS.

    Summary

    Totally CRAP! There Are LOTS Of Cheap Yet Effective (And Some Are FREE!) Antivirus That Won't Let You Down. Avast!, Avira, ESET And Others.
    Avoid THESE: McAfee, And Norton / Symantec. Even A New Computer Users PISSED Off With This Crap (And Even n00bs Will NOT Recommend This).

    Other Notes: There Are Some So-called "5-star Rating" Comments Concerning This **** Product Which I Think It's Just Paid Off By The Publisher(s). Do NOT Trust Them. EVER!
