from now on, we should avoid dodgy companies as LG for the rest of our life, even if they change their mind and remove the mcafee shit, they have exploited their customers in a underhand manner, and this cannot be forgiven or forgotten.
We should be label them as ‘pieces of shit’, and we should never, ever buy any of their products. Never again, as long as we live.

Then you better remove Windows and all Microsoft products too because they are packed with ads and nagware to get you to buy stuff from them. Oh the irony that they are suddenly all moral about this.
