It’s absurd! What are the programmers at McAfee smoking?? Standard install of McAfee; 9 programs startup via registry; 7 services startup on boot. Why??? Why do you need that many programs starting up?! That is 16 programs taking up valuable memory!?! Anyway, McAfee is coming off of this clients computer, and AVG is going on. It’s quicker, and does a better job. Go download it.
Absurd!
McAfee is unfortunately like most software shops today. You must ship your product right now, says management. Optimization is a waste of time.
This is what you get when you have inexperienced developers, who have always had “fast enough” computers, and the Microsoft “oh, faster, lets add dropshadows” attitude.
