McAfee sucks

Other
Calvin Correli·Feb 19, 2002· 1 minute
I've cancelled McAfee's Virusscan online twice now. First time they didn't work with IE6 yet, though it had been in preview for a sizable period. Then the lured me back with a really cheap offer, and since they claimed to have fixed the issues, I tried again. Still no luck. Got long emails from techsupport (who seemed like complete morons) telling me to mock with my registry (search for x, delete each instance (but not these instances), repeat for this list of 20 words). Needless to say, I gave up.

Then I thought I'd use their standard Virusscan product, which I've used before, and it's worked well. But now that also bombs, with a "failed to register scheduler DLL in AvSynchMgr" message. Oh, thank you.

The one good thing to say is that there's no argument about getting a refund.

What antivirus should I use? (WinXP)
