That was just a daft employee.

I work for them and have never used such tactics.

I also dont fully believe you as they recommend McAfee as it is in the bundles they offer and is part of the KPI

Very is the answer. They only work there for the money, most, not all but most have no idea how to troubleshoot with computers or how they even work.

That's why when they ask if I need any help, i ask them the same...

As I said, just a daft employee.
Its sad that people have to use that tactic instead of just being honest and recommending the benefits of the AV

Glad you said not all lol
I know the type of person you talk about as I had the same opinion.
Luckily some of the guys I work with are spot on.
They are honest with what they know and if they get asked something they are unsure of they will get help instead of winging it.
The training system within Currys PC World is actually pretty good, I guess some just dont take information in well.
