McAfee's new 2007 software blocks many popular advertising companies, removing their ads from millions of websites, included but not limited to:

AdBrite.com
AvnAds.com
AdEngage.com
AdultFriendFinder.com
Etology.com
and many others...

Google is NOT blocked even though they deliver the same content (in the same way) as the other advertising companies.. yet dozens of other legitimate companies are blocked by default.

In addition, McAfee will NOT install if you have AdAware installed.
You actually need to uninstall AdAware otherwise McAfee won't install.

FTP Uploads don't work with McAfee installed. Files get partially uploaded and stop (and error out). Shutting down or disabling McAfee and the Firewall option did not fix this problem (using IpSwitch) Uninstalling McAfee was the only solution to the problem. It may be software specific but we were unable to fix this problem.

Websites load significantly slower. Websites (on high speed) now take longer to load because McAfee scans every single file that is loaded.

Finally, it has become near impossible to close down McAfee while your system is running. There is no "exit" option when you right click. You can disable it (which is now more difficult than ever) but it is not easy to shut it down temporarily for any purpose.

The software is actively blocking and changing your websites and how they are being displayed to users. I loved McAfee but on this new update I think my days as a customer are over.
