Whoa! And I thought Sony shot themselves in the foot with their rootkit fiasco.

I think 30,000 may be just the tip of the iceberg. I Googled "McAfee svchost.exe" a minute ago and got 291,000 hits.

Having had McAfee once about five years ago (hey it was free with some TurboTax software, I didn't know any better) I know not to ever let McAfee or Norton anywhere near my computer again. This debacle just reinforces that opinion.

I use AVG Pro 9.x and am liking it very much. Their support is first rate and the program itself is very transparent. I do not see any noticeable change in performance whether or not it is enabled.
