in washington today in a way you're not going to believe. but just trust me, just sit down a moment. this is an amazing story. for a very long time, there was one really annoying down side to buying a new computer. so on the one hand, you're getting a new computer. getting rid of your old clunker, everything's going to work faster. new computers for a very long time always came with that freaking terrible preinstalled virus soft war. mcafee. it was always installed in some 30-day free trial, like they were doing you a favor and you were going to want to pay for it thereafter. it was super annoying, it made your computer run really slow, it stopped you from being able to do things you want to do. it didn't actually stop me from getting viruses. there was no way to get away from it. if you wanted to say no, don't do this to me, i reject the 30-day free trial, you kind of were not allowed. i think mostly they have grown out of it because people hate it. it's just terrible software. it's pointless. it does not work. the guy who started that business is named john mcafee. he did invent t
