I know several of us on here have Comcast, and they give us McAfee for free with our Internet service.
Well, I just found out there are some serious problems with McAfee giving false positives on everything from games to Windows Components. A false positive is when the Anti-Virus program thinks a harmless program matches a Trojan or Virus and destroys it.
Here is the link I found on it:

I was working on Airport Tycoon 3 for my son when I came across this. I am not so concerned with problems with games as I was with the Windows Vista conflicts. It explains why my sons computer crashed after trying to install recent updates and why my computer went on the fritz and I had to re-install McAfee after doing the updates.
So maybe next time you are cursing Microsoft and Vista... you might consider it is McAfee you should be cursing! I am not sure what I plan on doing, for now I am still running McAfee, but I don't like their slow response to these issues that is for sure.
