Plain and simple McAfee sucks. I've had to manually remove (delete all registry entries) from countless customer machines because it corrupted itself and wouldn't uninstall or install. It's a resource hog as well (like Norton). Use Nod32 or Kaspersky. Even AVG free is pretty good basic antivirus only program.
