It isn't hogging my resources.
And what makes you think McAfee shipped with my computer?
^And no, it was not the free deal that comes with Comcast, either. I don't even have Comcast.

I dont know whats funnies, the fact that people focus on the bad on any Windows product, or the fact that Win7 is actually very good.

This is a pointless review. They've gotten the whole point of the product all wrong.

If you want to review Microsoft's Anti Virus solution, check out Security Essentials. Action Centre is for managing problems with your Computer (eg. Drivers, Backup, Updates, Troubleshooting), not protecting it.

I got Norton 360 on a Windows 7 pc, but since something is wrong with windows 7 and the networking stuff since i upgraded, i cant even update the virus database.
