If any software I install alters my search engine, bombards me with pop-ups, or modifies my system settings without my knowledge or explicit consent, then it meets the definition of malware. Programs that take such actions are invasive, disrupt the intended functionality of my system, and compromise my control over my device. Regardless of their intended purpose, if they manipulate my settings or push unwanted notifications without permission, they qualify as malicious software. Responsible software respects user autonomy, while anything that circumvents this respect to tamper with settings or inject itself into my browsing experience is essentially malware.
My biggest gripe with commercial AVs is all the additional stuff they're pushing along with it. I don't want a VPN, a "safe browser", popup adverts, a password manager or any of that. Just give me an antivirus engine that is less targeted than windefend while maintaining similar levels of performance and maybe slightly better behaviour-based detection rate and we're good.
I have Bitdefender Free (it's hidden on their website, you have to Google for it) and it is literally just that, an AV, complete with real time protection and no ads.
Protegent is the true worst Antivirus. You will die If you use it. Mcafee is also bad. Overpriced, heavy on system and also in terms of malware protection performs worse than Windows defender from what I've seen in many reviews. But hey, its not the worst.
My issue with McAfee is the ads, browser hijacking, etc. makes me very skeptical that it's primary business model isn't more about data collection and analytics than anything else. They might not 'log' personalized VPN data but that doesn't mean it's not gathering usage data or giving state actors access to personalized data (hypothetically). Not to mention I've heard they are notorious for processing DMCA requests. Seriously how many red flags does one need to see?
Many clients with laptops and McAfee pre-installed, laptops with HDDs, slowest I've ever seen, with McAfee (old version) pop-up one after another and after uninstalling laptops always ran 200% better and faster like a SSD kinda, incredible.
what you're probably talking about is people setting up sites to spam your notifications and send you referrals to mcafee. happened to me by clicking an ADSENSE ad, and appears in eric's previous videos about malware.
I think the life of John McAfee is a more compelling subject. I'm still convinced he was murdered in prison for what he knew and it wasn't suicide. Just my opinion. Software might be shit, but he sure was an interesting human.
I don't like how uninstalling McAfee seem to destroy Defender. This is a no-go. Eric, maybe you could make a follow-up, where you try to get Defender running again?
I also would appreciate a follow-up, as someone with a new laptop that had McAfee pre-installed on it. My free trial is up and I don't want to pay for McAfee, but I can't afford to just go without an antivirus at all.
@@fred-youtube ...Is that not just what the comment I replied to said? That it breaks (leaves it deactivated erroneously) Windows Defender if you uninstall McAfee. (Right now my Defender is deactivated because it recognizes that I'm "using" McAfee instead.) Which is why I want to know how to properly uninstall McAfee in a way that allows Defender to reactivate itself.
It being preinstalled and asking to buy the full Version is the WORST. My grandparents once bought it thinking it was necessary to use the lapop. We could at least cancel it and get the money back! Since then Always double checking for that piece of Garbage!
Looks like the McAfee popups have improved. 10 years ago, it would kick you out of whatever you were doing and launch your web browser to tell you to buy their shit. _Every 15 minutes_. I hate that they're still in business.
I've bought up an Acer laptop a year ago with McAfee installed by OEM. This thing expired in a month and it begged me to renew my subscription. I've discarded McAfee to the standard Windows Defender, which do the job effectively.
I remember getting this anti-virus on my PC while donwloading a pirated game. By God the level of resources it used, brought unnessessary and clickbait ads and wasted my RAM, I was soo annoyed with this that I tried to delete it but it was almost impossible to get rid of it. Horrible experience with this one.
McAfee definitely has one of the worst uninstall experiences, I had it pre installed on a PC a couple of years ago. I ended up making a fresh windows installation iso and adding the drivers it needed and reinstalling the OS.
'Let's just take a quick break to tell you about our sponser' *Immediately sees the McAfee ad pop up & for a moment thought he was sponsored by them 💀 hahas
My laptop came with McAfee and WebAdvisor and I uninstalled it as soon as I could. All I need is Windows Defender and *common sense.* Edit: unfortunately, my parents still have an expired McAfee and it tries to convince them to renew the subscription, sadly it's like an adware when it expires.
The thing is the kinds of computers that McAfee winds up on are way more sensitive to McAfee's resource usage and become pretty much unusable until it's removed. Laptops with a Pentium Gold or N100 etc. are totally capable as facebook machines but you put McAfee on them and the potato flavor really comes out. I've taken so many laptops from paperweight status to good enough status just by running MCPR.
I also say that considering it comes on so many prebuilts, as soon as the 30 days expires, it disables your antivirus entirely and leaves you with nothing, while spamming your notifications with "please pay me" every few minutes. I had a computer come with norton as a kid, and not knowing how to uninstall it, if I closed it, it would pop up every 20 minutes, so I just left the window open so it wouldn't annoy me. norton is another one of those useless programs. malwarebytes is okay but if you install the free version it once again disables your antivirus entirely. that's not cool.
On Windows at least, I think it's intentional for Windows Defender to disable itself entirely if you have any other recognized adblocker installed? To prevent conflicts, perhaps. The problem is that Windows Defender only detects the existence of the other program on your computer and not if that program is actually _doing_ anything, so it stays turned off even if your subscription has run out. The problem is when an uninstall of the other program doesn't let Defender turn itself back on again :/
@@TheRainbowbeautiful I use MWB as a scanner, but for the most part Windows defender is what runs most of the time. IMO you don't need anything more than defender if you're halfway smart about what you're installing. And in the case of kids, they shouldn't have admin access on your system to begin with.
McAfee is hot trash. At all my clients I use ESET Endpoint Security with everything turned on (real-time scanning, heuristics, LiveGuard, etc). I also use ESET Cloud Office Security which integrates with both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 to block threats even before they're delivered to the end user. I also use at least 2 other layers of security - 1 on the gateway and 1 on the endpoint itself. Also ESET has their free "AV Remover" which successfully (and fully) removes most of the major brands of antimalware solutions. Full disclosure - ive been an ESET partner for more than a decade and I love their business products.
Great point about how most threats will attack windows defender first. This doesn't make it a bad way to keep your PC safe, especially if you mod and install a ton of stuff.
The slowdown before it lets you run the first virus is exactly why I hate "anti"virus software. They cause machines to grind to a halt when trying to do anything remotely serious on them.

You turned off fast scanning in Mcaffe when doing the scan, which is what gives it it's infamous high resource usage. It should run way faster with that on
I was helping my friend with his computer and mcafee was installed. The add/remove uninstall tool didn’t work, I had to use the mcafee removal tool to get it uninstalled. And it looks like yours did so it’s still an hit or miss if it actually works or if you need to use the dedicated tool.
one thing i dont really like about McAfee is that it just on every laptop you buy, super annoying to see classmates have like a ton of pop ups from McAfee
For me McAfee was getting installed with Adobe Acrobat Reader, it genuinely felt like a virus/malware but I later realized it is a cheap tactic by Adobe to hide the checkbox for installing McAfee with the PDF reader.
Imho, it would be nice to see a big AV test with tons of popular ones and see what is the best free and paid one. I think for free, MS doing great job.
This was pre-installed on my computer when I first got it. I would constantly get spammed with ads and pop ups. I had to find a way to uninstall it after some months due to how annoying it was 😒
I wish pc companies would download malware bites on every computer instead of this trash on computers that people buy. Malware bites is way better and safer. Plus it doesn’t act like a virus by harassing people with pop ups every few minutes
Windows Defender is garbage. Bad ransomware protection, heavily relies on genetic signatures, can easily be bypassed and turned off by modern malware. For an average user who stays safe, it would be enough, but it is still not a good option when there are plenty top AVs out there.
