So if McAfee is the worst why do you use it.

She probably does via your ISP. But it is far from the worst.

mine are:

1) BitDefender Internet Security 2009. Loved 2008, but 2009 was just too buged. Plus when it detected the Vista SP2 installer from Windows Update as malware, it got thrown out the window.

2) Kaspersky Internet Security. I have just never had my hands on a version that didn't cripple my computer somehow. :(
I'm a PC. I like the unpredictability.

You haven't tried KIS 2010 build 9.0.0.735.

ClamWin
AVG Free
McAfee

The only times I've had malware bypass my protection was when I used these.. and the AIM worm "Opanki" got right through and disabled McAfee. Fun times.
