When I purchased my Dell Inspiron Laptop about nine months ago, it came with the McAfee Security Center as the main Anti-Virus for the said notebook. But here's the catch the license is only valid for six months. At that time I told myself that if this shit expires I'm going to head over to piratebay and download a cracked version of any Anti-Virus in the market. But then after using it for about three months I saw how effective the Security Center was. Then when I only had a month left before it expires Dell emailed me a special offer that would give me 20 percent off if I renew my McAfee license before it expires. Without a doubt it was a bargain, top of the line security for my computer for a cheap price. It was a win-win until.... NOW.
Well what's bugging me is how strict it is when it comes to downloading cracked files. It doesn't even ask you if you want to delete the file or not. It just automatically deletes it from your system right away. It doesn't even have a vault for the virus that it deleted for you to retrieve it. I had to turn the "real time scanning" off just to download any .exe files from the internet. And this is where I actually lost it, when it starts blocking sites cause they are "potentially" harmful files on the website. I know it's just doing it's job to protect my pc from any malware shit but this is getting out of hand. If I only know that this is going to happen I should have just purchased an ESET NOD Anti-Virus. Which actually does the things that I said above.
I already disabled the Google Chrome Extension of it for me to be able to surf the net freely again. I already got used to turning the Real Time Scanning off whenever I'm downloading any app from the web or from any Peer to Peer applications. This just shows that first impression may sometimes be overrated..
