This morning, I found another annoyance:
This kind of panel pops up every time a virus is detected. That's every time. There's a virus called W32/Zafi.b@MM that's hit the scene this morning, and so far I must have had 20 reports for it. I've had two just while typing this QBlog entry! Gaah! Make that three! Every time I get this banner, proudly telling me that the anti-virus software has saved my backside. This is boasting. I only need to know once, if at all.
What's really, really irritating, though, is that it doesn't stop there. I have two ways to get rid of the banner without rebooting my PC. One of them is to click the "find out more information" option, which takes me to a generic McAfee front page. If I click on the "Continue what I was doing" option, I get, well, let me just take a snapshot of what I get when I do that right now on banner number three that's just appeared. Hmm, since four, five and six came along too in rapid succession, maybe I'll do the last of those:
I have to click through this every time. Note that the default is to do a virus scan of my entire system!
I installed anti-virus software so that the viruses didn't bug me. I didn't expect that the anti-virus software would bug me instead.
