The only problem is trusting Google 100% maybe lose some trust and believe that it's fake

First he wrote ">Everything we see in Google is 100% real" now he edited it.

Oh yeah , This is what MY google shows :



Never showed "no"

not trying to advertise, but a quick google search “is mcafee a virus” yields an interesting nbc article
from my experience, it just hogged up all the cpu on my computer and slowed it down.
Once it is installed(which it is preinstalled on most computers), you can’t shut it down, like Skype on Windows

I can’t even run admin commands on my own computer!
Very hard to uninstall too.
Still does it’s job of cleaning viruses, but it takes too much CPU power.

I would recommend switching to Kaspersky, Bitdefender, or ESET for paid protection.

People have preferences, still your choice.

Mcafee also has really annoying marketing tactics too, which is probably the reason why people hate it so much

If you use MS Windows, you might as well stop worrying about that virus, because the former steals data from you anyways.

GNU/Linux FTW!

Some software now comes with cryptocurrency mining, like utorrent (dont know if they already removed it). Norton AV was one of them, i wouldnt be surprised if any other one you have is following the trend. After all, most of us have some kind of antivirus.

Cryptomining really uses a lot of cpu power and wont let you do something else.

Check which software is running, which one is hogging all the memory and maybe do a cpu check to see what is using all the processing power. Maybe one of those infiltrated.

That's the gravy!

So does Microsoft.
