 Works but hogs resources August 20, 2008
The Cast Iron Kid (Salt Lake City, Utah USA)
We have been running McAfee on our home PC for about 3 years now. Up until this latest edition came out we've been fairly pleased with the product. This latest version only allowed the purchase option of three licenses, which I'm sure already added to the overpricing of this software. I only need one license for our home PC. This latest annoyance got me looking around. McAfee does work very well but from what I understand it doesn't trust the Window's firewall and wants to use its own. Regardless if this is true or not, McAfee hogs up a huge amount of resources and slows the computer down tremendously. I thought this was a problem with my PC because, admittedly, it is a few years old but I've found others with new computers that have the same problem. If you're thinking of running McAfee, here's the summary of what to expect:
Pros: protects very well, online database is updated constantly.
Cons: resource hog, over priced compared to other options, slows your computer down, did not allow the purchase of a single license
 Like Driving a Tank, Instead of a Car August 20, 2008
Anonymous (North of Philadelphia)
Yes, you will be safer in a tank than a car, but will take you forever to get there.
Horrible in terms of slowing down computer. I have been using NO virus software for 5 years without any problems. I decide to protect my two computers (both a year old) with software, and after installing this software, my computer runs at 1/4 the speed. If you want to run more than 1 internet explorer, forget it. Im better off taking my chances getting a virus and moving "stress free" through my searches, than being safe yet moving so slow.
 McAfee -- great protection little annoyance August 19, 2008
Morganna Wolf (Portland, OR)
I have been using McAfee Total Protection on my desktop and a Norton product on my lap top. I'll admit I'm lazy. I want to set it up to do gaurd my computer, do updates seamlessly, and fix a range of "no brainers" w/o me having to do much. I also want it to not pop up and ask me questions every time I run a program.
I feel this program strikes a good balance of Great Protection and running in the background w/o a lot of user actions being required.
 Good product that provides protection but slows your computer down horrifically August 7, 2008
Charles Ashbacher (Marion, Iowa United States(cashbacher@yahoo.com))
Ten years ago when the company I worked for suffered from a Word Macro virus infection the network administrator installed McAfee as the solution and it worked. That was the last virus infection we suffered through. The administrator sold me on McAfee and I used it for years. Lately, and this product reinforces this, I have altered my opinion regarding the quality of the protection it provides.
While it still provides solid protection against the majority of malware buzzing around the Internet and the supporting data files are regularly updated it runs so slow that it can be infuriating. It becomes difficult to perform any work with an open application when any segment of the McAfee package is running.
Since the days I referred to in the first line, I have become much more knowledgeable in the area of malware and computer security. I now have better luck by doing the following:
*) Being very cautious in what I do online
*) Always use the malware protections provided by my online service provider.
*) Using an effective firewall on my computers that runs 24/7
*) Using other virus scanning software (plural) that I run on my time
I came to the conclusion some time ago that the actions listed above are superior to using McAfee products and this one did nothing to change my mind. Once I examined it for review, I immediately uninstalled it.
This product was installed on an XP machine for examination.
AWFUL- ANNOYING and INVASIVE! August 2, 2008
Jorcy Jetson (USA)
The marketing strategy used for the McAfee software that came with my Dell Laptop was to annoy the user constantly and permanently PUSHING AND PUSHING for you to HAVE TO BUY THEIR SUBSCRIPTION. I got popups, emails everyday saying that Its my last chance to get it at discounted prices, and so forth. I HATED SO MUCH THEIR ANNOYING PUSHY MARKETING (I found it UNCOMFORTABLY INVASIVE). Instead of motivating me to buy from them I prefered to get NORTON 360 from Symantec. I gladly payed that subscription- and I was so happy when I read "Before installing Norton 360 you must remove the following program: McAffee !"
It's like a war Tax. Either you pay McCafee or you will be bugged for the rest of your life until you do. Talk about a Virus-Like behavior.!
There are tons of better options than this.
