Allright so i just ran mcafee quickclean to have a bit of a dust off to my computer cause i had never run it before (had used CCleaner before hand).

Usually CrapCleaner will take off around 300mb..
so i ran the mcafee quickclean and to my surprise of little baby jebus asking me how much hdd space i had left, cuase my computer is being slow as shit i dunno why, i checked to see i have 71 gb free, and just before i ran mcafee quickclean i had 48 gb free, i was seriously like

It turns out shitloads of system restore points were there and it freed them all by putting them in the ol' shitter.

So my point of this... is it normal for mcafee quick cleaner to get rid of 23 gb of stuff? even restore points?

Now bring CCleaner back up and tick Hotfix Uninstallers.

Vista doesn't have it. Prefetch may clear stuff too, but not fucktons like hotfix uninstallers.

Why did you even install McAffee? Do you know anything about computers?

First lesson : McAffee and Norton fail.

NOD32 is best.

Prefetch is "Let's copy all the EXEs to a folder in Windows for no reason".

Not when the free shit fails.

You can get NOD32 for "free" as well.

Get rid of McAffee, you really don't want it on your computer. Also, Norton 2009 > McAffee.

Yes, even AVG beats McAffee. That's how pathetic the program is.

I would have to agree. They've really come round these past couple of years.

Still sucks though.
