For the past seven years or so, I haven’t had any luck with McAfee applications.

Computer security company McAfee Inc (MFE.N) plans to buy Secure Computing Corp (SCUR.O) for $465 million, adding specialized equipment that keeps hackers from breaking into computer networks.

The move, McAfee’s biggest acquisition to date, helps the No. 2 computer security company expand the bundle of products it can sell to businesses. The deal also boosts the number of companies that use its products.

I used to run McAfee anti-virus and I always seemed to have issues. Then I ran AVG and it found hundreds of items that McAfee never found. I love running avg, whether it’s installed on my home servers, or on the memory cards I carry for work, it never fails. So, if this new acquisition means they will offer the same quality of service they offer with their anti-virus line, I’ll pass thank you very much.
