Product Description
Never go online without the latest anti-virus protection. Fast-spreading mass-mailing viruses, worms and Trojans like Mydoom, Bagle and Sasser can easily infect exposed PCs over dial-up or broadband connections, forward themselves to your email contacts and even help remote hackers hijack personal information.

 McAfee strengths and weaknesses July 31, 2006

I have been using McAfee for a couple of years and when the Security Suite is up and running it is very good. I added Quick Clean to it and find that very useful in tuning my PC. But there is a downside - every few months McAfee tell me that one of the products - say Spam Killer - is out of date. So I go on line for "chat" which is very tedious and rarther worse than watching paint drying. Inevitably they tell you to uninstall the product and reinstall and that results in mega problems. Today after manuall uninstalling the five items in the Security Suite I found that I had compeletely lost my Outlook - all gone - personal folders - email - contacts and calendar. A real nightmare. It took many phone calls and all day to resolve. Customer support and tech support are dreadful. Virus Scan does however work well and kept all sorts of nasty stuff at bay for me.
 Don't Buy This! It's Slow, a Resource Hog & Caused both browsers to Cease Functioning! Use [free] Spybot S&D 3.1 + free Hostman December 26, 2005

Awful,Awful,Awful,Terrible, Terrible,Terrible. I should have listened to the reviewers on here! Especially when the one guy here said that Macafee IS the virus. He was right. I just could not believe it could be soooo different from the recently discontinued 4.5.1 for school/corporations [enterprise]. Boy, was i wrong! Not only does it take minutes to start up, Most of the time, after that, you can hardly even move your mouse [even though a resource meter shows hardly much usage]. What a lemon! I Tried reinstalling 2 or 3 times, rebooted 6-7x, re-updated 3x's etc. Error. U can't adjust anything or uninstall its addware in 1 step & it doesn't tell u what it's doing. U cannot remove it's adware in 1 step. Never detected anything- or didn't tell me?! Try free sharewares: Spybot 3.1 Search&destroy, maybe add Hostman + a firewall. Goin' maybe 4 Panda. This or nothin? Gimme nothing.
 Now this is ONE McAfee product I like ! September 20, 2005

I have broadband and teenagers at home. My PC's were plagued with trojans and Viruses. I was formatting and re-building every 6 months. I installed McAfee Virusscan in April 2005 and have not had a SINGLE trojen or virus infect my 2 PCs. McAfee security center is constantly popping up (5 seconds) and telling me it has quarantined or deleted such and such program. . . a known virus or trojan. The pop up alerts are a small price to pay for a clean machine. I recommend McAfee Virusscan (but NOT the spamkiller combo pack. SK is a whole other ugly story !)
 Not the best September 5, 2005

I had the new Windows 2000 virus on my computer and this program could not detect it. I recommend PC Security Shield. It is much less expensive and comes with a firewall and anti spyware. A computer repairman said he does not recommend McAfee or Norton.
McAfee-No stars...defective product...no support!! August 14, 2005

Installed McAfee VS 2005 9.0 on a perfectly good Dell 8200 Inspirion and it killed it dead. Don't buy this product...it didn't work on my PC where everything else worked fine. McAfee offers no warranty support and couldn't care less about customers. Stay away, very far away.
