Ahhh, McAffee, trying to drum-up business for itself.

In my view, this is about the creepiest sw company around -- when their software slowed down my laptop consistently, I attempted to de-install it ... at first an impossible feat. Even when turning to the company's sw support people, they couldn't (wouldn't?) help me.

Finally, I backed-up all my files and the personal stuff, formatted the hard drive and re-installed Windows and Office and all the relevant apps.

It's a challenge to get rid of McAffee's crap, once one makes the mistake to let them infect (!) your system. Subsequent laptops were looked at also by determining that they had NOT McAffee installed on them.
