<rant>Why is it that after all of these years McAfee still tends to take a ton of cpu doing real time scanning. I can tell everytime McAfee is doing something because my laptop just slows to a crawl at best. When I pull up the task manager, the mcshield process is taking anywhere from 60–100% of the available cpu. This is just not acceptable to me and over time it has a decent impact on productivity.
I had used the symantec enterprise edition until IT changed the standard to McAfee enterprise. I never had any kinds of performance issues with symantec. In fact I would tend to forget that it was even installed.
Why can’t McAfee make software that has decent performance..
