    McAfee Paid Antivirus Worse Than Microsoft

    Microsoft apologists can rejoice: Microsoft Security Essentials is only the second-worst security software out there for Windows 7, according to a new study.
    Intel's McAfee Internet Security now occupies the bottom spot, protecting users from less than three-quarters of incoming threats in these tests.

    I read where Intel has McAfee up for sale.

    While it may be tempting to interpret the results of the SE Labs study as a condemnation of McAfee, that would be the wrong takeaway. While some security suites are better than others, even the weakest among them provides much more substantial protection than nothing at all. Then again, if a free program is out-performing your paid one, it may be time to switch out your antivirus.
