Anyone else had problems with these two not liking each other?

I got a new pc, windows 7 home premium, intel core2 quad processor (64 bit?) but it wouldnt run my mcafee that I get with o2, I called them up and the Asian chap was very helpfull and held my hand while I downloaded it direct from mcafee, but it still doesn't like the pc??

That mcafee security stuff is turd IMO

Made my pc as slow as dial up lol

Get rid and get Comodo, plus it's free

I used to have norton on my old pc but it was terrible ( I was on aol ) then went to o2 and only really had a speed issue when doing a virus scan, i'll have a look at that one you suggest edd

Malware Bytes is good and free also.

I used to like AVG, but their current incarnation is severe bloatware.

Using Microsoft Secuirty Essentials, its free and probably will make your computer run better than Mcafee.
