Review by Brent Butler

I got a new notebook recently that had this on it. I almost returned the machine because EVERYTHING on it was so slow. I mean everything … apps … web page response, Settings. It was ridiculous.

Then I had a wild idea … what if the AV was the problem. I uninstalled McAfee and the machine started to fly. So I put one of my AVG licenses on it. There was very little performance degradation with AVG.

McAfee might be a great AV software, but if I can’t stand to use the computer with it installed, it is worthless to me.
