Let me also add that McAfee Virus Scan is very annoying. The friend had installed it on her new laptop and the machine immediately slowed down -- not perceptiply -- dramatically. The machine took twice as long to boot, and even after booting to the desktop, it would continue chugging until it came up with a dialog box that required her to log in to McAfee, even though it wasn't connected to the internet. After I uninstalled the various components of it via the Control Panel and rebooted, some lingering piece of it popped up in the Task Tray and said, "Hey, you might be at risk. There are pieces of me that are missing." As-in, YEAH, ALL OF YOU. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?

So apparently, after googling about this problem, McAfee suggests that you call their tech support line if you are considering uninstalling their software, so they can walk you through it. What. The. Fuck?
