Absolutely true. Our IT department at work loves McAfee for some reason; they’ve installed it enterprise-wide. When they first installed it, we discovered that it was not only deleting tons of our important files, but it then proceeded to delete its own files. The idiotic thing was deleting everything, including itself! That of course caused it to eventually freeze as it deleted certain files that it could not continue operating without. It also uses tons of system resources and slows computers to a crawl. I hate it with a passion.
Our leadership in Europe loves McAfee.
I am the guy in the US that has to install the stuff and encrypt laptops. I’ve had McAfee encryption go wacko more than a few times.
