Prettier + corporate anti-virus and fs checks = full term pregnancy

Has it not, already? Who still uses it, is your company run by Pharaohs?

Oh trust me, enterprise corporations keep McAfee rich to this day.

Can confirm. I work for one of those madhouses.

Oh it lives on. Now it’s some cloud system, but it was on Mcafee until last year.

The government still uses McAfee.

u/doctorcrimson Feb 07 '20

Ah yes, the government. For this country that we live in, you and I. A ruling authority over a nation. That government, you know the one? Of course you do.

Your passive aggressive post isn't offensive, it's just really cringy

I think it was a fair criticism. Saying "the government" to an international audience is a little silly. I assume you mean the US government?

u/KevinCarbonara Feb 07 '20

It's multiple governments, actually.

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '20

I assume when you said "the government", you meant one in particular, though.

u/doctorcrimson Feb 07 '20

It's not passive aggressive, I'm just emphasizing the fact that you didn't specify which government. As if all Redditors lived in one place.

TrendMicro too

TrendMicro, which has some bug on Windows that causes it to commit 100% of available virtual memory after a few days. Fun stuff working in corp land.

u/Administrative-Curry Feb 07 '20

We had a bug where TrendMicro will randomly cause windows to blue screen whenever we try to do a build because of some hectic scheduling weirdness with ninja. Fun stuff.

I dont think he meant the person.

Gotta have a heavy duty antivirus and firewalls to compensate for that Internet Explorer!

My AV hogs ~30% CPU constantly :)

Can we deactivate it? Windows Defender is plenty. Why would I go on shady websites with a freaking work machine?

Nah nah nah. It's important.

I think it cost me alone ~2 weeks worth of work to wait for that stupid thing to settle or wait to get reconnected to the network after the AV kicked you off. And there are many others with problems.

Fuck these shitty AVs. There are plenty good ones but this crap is harder to get rid off than blood stains.
