If you Google Mcafee removal tool you can download a file that will remove it.

G Data looks pretty good.

I hear that earth closets and composting toilets are now quite the in thing Den though most people prefer not to share with neighbours.

I always think re world tests are better than comparatives as you have no idea what malware they are using and what overheads it puts on the system. I trust AV comparatives more but even then...., Eset may be bad now Norton great tomorrow Kaspersky better next week G Datat always seems to score high but whats the false positive rate in real world usage again, it all changes so quickly. Use what works best on your system and be happy with it, then use something else like Defence wall or Prevx
