Classic. I thought I'd give McAfee a spin, because it was on sale at Costco, and boy was I in for a shock. There aren't any controls! You can't tell it to do anything, and it won't tell you what it's doing. It's like they expect you to think that PC security is something that can be done with an "ON" button. Okay, McAfee is "ON" so now I don't have to worry about anything. Yeah, right. Give me a goddamn "advanced tab" - how hard is that?

I am troubled by this trend in software designed for people that aren't expected to know how to use it. I don't like "just trust us" because, I don't.
