What do I tell my dad to get the point across to him that we don't need it. He's complaining that our laptop's too slow, and he's sorta started doing it after he installed it on our laptop. He feels it's better than AVG or Norton Antivirus as it worked fine back in '06 when we had AOL.

The problem is, I was a little more careful on what I downloaded.

McAfee Virusscan Plus takes up a large piece of our RAM (We only have 297 MB of RAM on this laptop) And I tell him to uninstall it, and try AVG/Norton AV once more, but he doesn't want to, as he thinks we won't be protected from viruses and attackers and such.

Truth is, he isn't too smart with computers.

McAfee simply doesn't work.  I used it for a short while last year.  It failed.  I got two trojan viruses that McAfee never recognized.  After that disaster, I put on Avast, and I have no complaints.  It catches everything, and is a heck of a lot easier to use.

That, and I'm the techie out of my group of friends.  I've had to help several friends remove viruses that McAfee missed.  AVG or Avast work loads better than McAfee is capable of.

Yea McAfee really isnt good for anything. AVG does take up a bit of RAM(Bout 70,096) but is my weapon of choice, as it is very very efficient.
