After much research I decided I wanted to give Bitdefender a try, and decided to ditch Mcafee. After a complete Mcafee uninstall and reboot I installed Bitdefender, but it's creating problems. Nothing on my computer ran correctly except Firefox. Everything from Adobe programs to Thunderbird and even Task manager and notebook. Nothing worked. Bitdefender worked, except for the firewall, which I didn't even bother trying to figure out considering the other issues.
So, I uninstalled and rebooted. After about an hour of using my computer with no abnormal behavior or errors, I decided to try installing it again, and got the same exact results. Nothing works. The error message: The applicaion failed to initalize properly (0xc0000005)
I've uninstalled Bitdefender again, and again my computer is working fine. I've contacted a Mcafee rep with suspicions of some remnants of that program screwing things up, but they confirmed that Mcafee is completely off my computer.
As of now I'm glad I decided to try the trial version first, because clearly something's very wrong. I hope someone can help because right now I have no antivirus, and I'll have to try something else soon.
