[QUOTE="Ludditus, post: 814729, member: 39708"] McAfee Antivirus Plus 2019 and Internet Security 2019 (both having a 6-mo trial if you know how to look for it) are [B]tremendously improved[/B] over the previous versions (and their Android app also evolved from "complete junk" to "simply awesome"), BUUUT... [B]McAfee deletes/quarantines without notifying, and there's nothing one can do about it![/B] [LIST] [*]I download a keygen/patch/false positive, and the next second it's gone. I don't even know if it wasn't a dream. McAfee quarantines it, but there's no notification/pop-up/toast! [*]I am making backups and copying some folders on an external HDD or in the cloud. In the process, every single file that looks suspicious to McAfee gets quarantined or deleted, and I don't even know that this happened! I am confident that I made a correct backup, and some files are missing! [*]I insert a USB stick. Some files on it are deleted and McAfee doesn't tell me anything about it. [/LIST] [B]This is unacceptable[/B] and the reason I couldn't use the 6-month extended trials for McAfee Antivirus Plus 2019 and Internet Security 2019, despite the [B]extreme lightness [/B]of McAfee 2019. Of course, it can be worse. Stupid security software include: [LIST] [*]Sophos Home, which doesn't even have a quarantine. [*]Trend Micro, whose quarantine preserves for 2 years the detected threats, and only removes from quarantine the restored and whitelisted files. [*]F-Secure, who restores the hosts file to the almost empty one originally installed by Windows without notifying the user. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
