    Most computers i have had to clean from being infected have had McAfee on them...

    Most of them also had Limewire...

    McAfee or cross my fingers and pray?? I vote cross me fingers and pray its probably more effective.

    If you are running Windows 10 then Windows Defender is all you need. Kaspersky were going to launch an anti-trust action against Microsoft regarding Windows Defender which kind of tells you they're worried about it.

    Just a bit of extra information

    I bought a new laptop recently that had McAfee already installed on it.

    Yes, that's what's supposed to happen!
