I presume you mean "lacks"? No, McAfee is NOT lacking in the Trojan detection department. As I said, it's right up there close to KAV. It also has settings, in some versions at least, to alert on some "controversialware" ... just as KAV does. However, it's hard to say just how they compare in "fringe area" detection of various spyware, adware, dialers, etc. It's best to use spyware and adware scanners along with top notch av products.

Free and the requirement NOT to have > to renew subscriptions makes for a vastly superior product. Dream on. Vastly superior because it costs you no money or because it works better? "It's unwise to pay too much, but it's unwise to pay too little. When you pay too much you lose a little money, that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing you bought it to do. The common law of business prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it's well to add something for the risk you run. And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better." John Ruskin, 1819-1900 Author, Influential Critic, Philosopher Chas.

What's unwise is to have a product that has a subscription which many will fail to renew thus leaving the Inet full of typhoid marys. > When you pay too much you lose a little money, that is all. Dollars are not the issue. Protection is the issue. Dollars reduce protection of the overall Inet environment. Now if someone would sell a good reasonably priced virus checker with a lifetime or 5 year subscription then things might be different. An Inet environment full of users with AVG is a safer and better place than an Inet full of folks with expired great virus checkers.
