McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009 1-User is a very solid antivirus software package that also scans your computer for any security threats out there. Although some people hate this software, it works well for me and I am impressed by it. The installation was quite easy and I had no difficulties with the software after I installed it. Moreover, the updates from the Internet from Mondays through Fridays make me believe that McAfee is on top of things with this antivirus/security threat program.
Yes, you get updates between Mondays and Fridays; but there's so much more. I like the disc defragmenter feature although I suppose that this overlaps somewhat with the Windows disc defrag program. However, the two defrag programs don't seem to work against each other. There are ways to clean up fragments of files and old unnecessary files on your hard drive by deleting them ("Quickclean") and the "shredder" feature also helps a lot with this. Naturally, you can also use McAfee to "quarantine" or simply delete files that may be harmful to your computer. I especially like the option McAfee gives you of using a lockdown firewall that protects your computer from any threatening program (or anyone, for that matter) creeping in from the Internet while you are working. Great!
In addition, the "McAfee SiteAdvisor" is another feature I have never seen before--and I like it, too. It primarily indicates if the website is absolutely safe with regards to downloads off that site. This can be very important with regard to spyware and other rogue programs. There is another reviewer on this page who writes better than I can about this feature; and he correctly adds that after a Google search the website links that you find as hits come with an icon to the right of them indicating McAfee's opinion of the safety of these websites regarding downloads and more.
McAfee antivirus software also comes with online help; but I cannot comment on this feature because I have yet to use it.
My only wish is that we could be able to get software updates on weekends. In addition, you may want to find out more about the compatibility between this software and Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 before you buy this package.
Overall, I highly recommend this antivirus software. I am disappointed that some other people don't like it; but I guess any software package can have copies of it that are defective. McAfee should, in my opinion, refund their money or fix their problems fast. For me, however, I am quite satisfied; and this works very well with Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7.
I rate this software a strong BUY!
WARNING - Product Incompatible witn IE8 November 23, 2008
Joe H.
WARNING -- McAfee VirusScan does not work with Internet Explorer 8. I bounght this product and found the product would not work on my computer. McAfee customer support did not help with the problem. After doing independant researh I discovered VirusScan was incompatible with the Imternet Explorer8 which was running on my Vista operating system. After I uninstalled IE 8 and reinstalled IE 7 on my computer everyting worked fine. This was a process that requires a medium level of computer knowledge. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT UNTIL MCAFEE FIXES IT TO WORK WITH IE 8.
Junk Software, Lousy Support (India) November 13, 2008
J. Auten
I bought this to remove a Virus and it won't work. Support (in India) took 30 minutes of my time. Made me installed it on another Virus free PC so they could get the registration. Waisted 30 minutes of my day and then told me for $89.00 I could have access to Tech support. Services S _ ck's. I will not buy Mcafee again.

I recently bought and installed this product.Worked OK.After a few days I started getting a message that my computor wasn't fully protected and that I needed to register the product.Fine.To date I haven't managed to register the product.A pop up registration window doesn't function.E mails to McAfee have been a waste of time.They are fixated on an Anti virus program I have installed on a notebook computor.
I would not buy this product again.
