I used McAfee including the ...G. King -- 21/07/09

I used McAfee including the firewall for many years. Their products seems ccould not catch up with the development of the industry. Until recently, I was using a McAfee Enterprise version. Time to time, the McScript_InUse.exe takes up to arround 98% of CPU usage, as a symptom the CPU fan runs at its highest speed, and it last for several hours. You have to stop it using some anti-malware assistant software, since sometimes you just can not stop it in the windows task manager. Is this not a malware itself? The cpu temperature is important for a laptop. Although I can not say that McAfee burns the CPU to death, one of my laptop CPU fan was damaged after long time running at its highest speed, another laptop main board or the cpu was burned to death before I find out that the McScript_InUse.exe greatly increases the CPU temperature.
Another weird thing is that it does not compat with the 2008-ranked # 1 firewall, Online Armor. If you installed both, you will get a blue screen.
Both of the above phenomena have been posted by lots of users at different websites, I should have made a research on these issues to avoid such mal-things happen.

The good: Easy to use

The bad: baring a malware character.
