McAfee 2000 is dangerous & defective!! Beware!

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Corporate Suckup Forum : One Thread

McAfee cleaned me out and I lost nearly a week of productivity. A defective alpha version of Cleanup Wizard has been packaged with McAfee 2000 and it will take all the files in your root directory and throw them in the recycling bin. Presto! No operating system!

Here's an excerpt from a letter I wrote to the CEO of NAI/McAfee several weeks ago and they haven't even had the decency to answer me.

This letter is to alert you to the fact that you are selling defective software and I expect McAffee/NAI to take responsibility and do something about it. I am extremely dissatisfied. I've spoken to your people at McAfee/NAI -- customer care, technicians, you name it and they have been unable to help me. Your technical staff have confirmed on your message board that an alpha version of Cleanup Wizard has been mistakenly distributed with McAfee Office 2000. Very simply -- your product (CleanUp Wizard) wiped out my operating system by putting all the files in my root directory into the recycle bin. I have wasted two full days trying to get up and running at my expense.

This is what I expect from you: 1. A service technician in my office within the 24 hours to recover my systein at your expense. 2. Telephone me upon receipt of this fax to confirm that you are taking responsibility in this matter and to let me know when I can expect a technician.

If I don't hear from you in the next 24 hours I will alert other consumers through the media and internet; providing a factual account of my experiences with your software and the response I've received from your company.
