McAfee Attack

Thanks, McAfee. Of course, if you just updated your AV files you're not reading this. Because your machine is now an "expensive paperweight."

I hate sliding into smugness, but...  ;D







...when it's a company like McAfee with bloated hard-sell software, I'll indulge myself just this once!

I hate McAfee with a vengeance.  So many new laptops come with it pre-installed free for a year.  The fun begins when you try and get rid of it!  This time they appear to have done it all by themselves.   ;D
