Not only do I not trust the $60 rebate from any company but I don't trust McAfee to actually provide any protection. I can trust that their software will take up resources and suck the life out of my computer for no reason

MCOUGHY is garbage and should be not used if you crave for speed on your PC
Go with vipre,the best in the industry keeping in mind the resources it uses the lowest.

Notice how Vipre doesn't show anything about its effectiveness in those charts. ESET is way better. If you're gonna pay for an antivirus it should be nod32, period.

Even free is too much for McAfee Total Protection. It brought my computer to a crawl. Boot time became ridiculous. MTP is a resource sucking whore. To add injury to insult, it missed a trojan that caused me hours of grief. After that joy, I uninstalled and replaced MTP and performance improved immediately. Maybe the upcoming 2010 version will be better, but I've had it with McAfee.
