Should I start being suspicious of this anti virus software?

bleeding roses asked:

I own Mcafee anti virus software and I had it since September. I downloaded items but Mcafee never detects a virus so I thought it was strange since every download I ever made was safe. Another reason is that their site adviser says certain website is green when it should be red. It also do that with downloads too. And recently my computer is randomly freezing up, shutting down,and a while ago it was slow, so I took a virus scan but it said there wasn’t any harm.So is this software right?

    McAfee is one of the worst anti-virus programs you can get. You should uninstall it and get something like AVG and then run a scan. You could also install SpySweeper, which gets rid of malicious cookies from the internet.

    Norton is still the best. Whichever you use, be sure to update it often.

    I don’t recommend McAfee or Norton.

    Check out ESET. Nod32 has always been one of the stronger anti-virus programs.
