This was very interesting, thanks for posting. On a side note, these days I wonder why people still use _any_ third party anti-virus programs at all. It seems all of them (at least the free versions) are starting to behave more like viruses, asking you to reinstall after you've uninstalled them, throwing up popups pestering you to upgrade to paid status, and worst of all, silently disabling Defender in Windows 10. (Which may be intended behavior of Windows 10 rather than the fault of the scanner, but I still don't like it.)

***** The 'Common Sense' argument has been getting less and less valid the more and more viruses evolve. Right now, you can get a virus even by going to a popular, frequently used site, like facebook, because of the ads used on the site, amoung other things 'Common Sense' isnt really a proper argument when you can get a virus without downloading anything.

+Lazy Game Reviews id is one of the main reasons I got into programming and I like to think I know everything about the group. However, if there's anything I've learned from your channel, it's that there's always something I can learn from your video essays. I'm excited to hear that you're planning on tackling the topic in the future.

Ah, the video that got me to subscribe! Such a wild ride life has been since then, but it's been great to watch your videos along the way! And as an aside, I still recommend this video to people; the story is just so crazy, it's hard to believe it isn't a movie plot.

McAfee Antivirus software has always been known as a major system resource hog. It always ends up using the majority of a computer's resources, with that being the memory. In fact, if you go online there are many websites where people have had to deal with their computers slowing as a result of the aforementioned issue (me included). The major culprit was McAfee's real time scanning which ate up a lot of system resources. Suffice to say, the last time that and the only time I used the McAfee Antivirus software was years ago and I've never intended on using it every again. Thanks for the great video!

I guess that's one inherent "downside" to anti-virus and anti-malware software, in terms of perception. If it's doing its job well in a non-intrusive way - it'll _appear_ like nothing is happening or being done.

Vacuum cleaner makers make their products noisy for that reason. More noise=more suck in consumer's mind. Same with PSU manufacturers, too many RMAs on working products because the fan didn't need to spin on quite mode and the owner thought it was broken.

I binged Halt and Catch Fire recently. Having seen this video, I caught the clear inspiration for where one of the characters goes in season 3. I was only slightly disappointed when the character didn't get as crazy as McAfee is. This disappointment was nullified by how good season 4 was. Great show for anyone watching this video or any of LGR's Tech Tales from the '80s and '90s.

Interesting story. I'd never realised there was such a big story behind the name. Thanks LGR! McAfee...a piece of software I deteste with a passion. I got a virus a copy years ago which (interestingly) put adverts, of the pop-up and non-pop up variety, on any non-Google owned site. Yet that shitty programm couldn't do a thing. Thus I installed AVG and it solved the problem in minutes, unlike McAfee who refused to do anything other than scans.
