    So last night i got a new laptop with Wleven on it from HP. I started the setup process, completed it, did the crapware check and found one of the two anti-virus programs that screw your computer up more than an actual virus. At that point I was annoyed since the answer to "will I need to nuke the factory OS install" was yes. A few hours later I notice Mcafeces has spammed me a welcome email. I never gave them my email. I never consented for MS or HP to give it to them either. :elephant:ing spammer enabling scum. I was busy with other stuff and didn't immediately unsubcribe. I just got a second email from McAfeces. In the gmail preview I see in part "It will be over by undefined"; so apparently they're as :poop: at completing email templates as they are at keeping your system usable.                                                                                             X| X| X| X| X|                         X| X| X| X| X| X|                             X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X|               X| X|                             X| X|                X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X|           X|                                                X|      X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| &nbs

      I got this McAfee bloatware recently with my new Dell laptop. I'm uninstalling it on behalf of AVAST. In my verry first job a was indirectly working for McAfee.

        I remember when John McAffee was in all the trouble in Brazil and the company, which he no longer owned made a public statement that they were considering renaming the product. McAffee's response was please do, I don't want to be associated with your crappy software.
