1. I tell everyone to delete this guy's software from their system....

They agree after a google image search of him fooling around with underage girls.

2. I also tell them to delete McAfee Software, only you got one thing wrong

John sold it a long time ago. McAfee is currently owned by Intel.
Here's a link to the corporate announcement: http://www.mcafee.com/us/about/intel-mcafee.aspx
It's now called "McAfee Anti-virus a division of Intel Security"
And it still sucks!
It sucked soon after John sold it and they modified the code.

3. I tell people to use the free version of AVG.

4. Forget that one too

Yesterday word got out that they are selling your web browsing data.
So I guess that leaves Avast! (my fave, because it speaks Pirate!) or Avira (good one also) free editions.
Here's a link to the AVG story: http://www.engadget.com/2015/09/19/avg-privacy-policy-update/

5. They're just doing the equivalent of a word cloud.
