AVOID if you have (or plan to have) a wireless network ! ! ! ! ! December 12, 2007

The latest incarnation of McAfee's Total Protection (version 2008) seems to have gone backwards in time. Nowadays, when the trend is for users to go wireless, McAfee has decided to strip out their wireless network security component from their Total Protection 2008 suite. This component was integrated into the 2007 version, but for some reason now you need to download it from their website and install it independently. THIS IS HOW THE NIGHMARE BEGINS!!!!!!!
Once installed, the wireless component will then start prompting you endlessly for its own individual registration; but the registration will fail because it conflicts with the registration of the Total Protection suite. Countless hours of non-free (yes, McAfee DOES NOT have free telephone support even for installation issues) have not solved the issue. They instructed me to download and run a special removal tool they have for their software. McAfee's Total Protection does not uninstall itself completely using Windows' Add/Remove option. Then they had me install the wireless component first and then the Total Protection suite, but the same kept happening. They even took over my computer remotely but failed to produce results.
I have been dealing with McAfee for days now and no resolution has been attained. By the way, this is happening consistently in 6 computers I have in my network. In a time when the computer protection segment of the software industry is getting more and stronger competitors (Kaspersky, Bit Defender, Computer Associates and now Microsoft) than ever before, McAffe is falling on their face. SAVE YOURSELF A NIGHTMARE!!!!!
