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.)

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 love these kinds of videos, between this, oddware and reviewing old tech and gamess I played as a kid this is one of my most favorite KZbin channels. But I do have one problem, I'm running out of LGR videos to watch that I haven't already seen.

"It's not over yet" is the conclusion. Maybe it is time then to do an update of this vid, as it now nearly 3 years since it was published, and what has happened in the meantime?

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.

RIP Mr. McAfee. Is update video planned? Not sure if now is a good moment, but it may be worth covering when data dump hypothesis is confirmed or busted
