Customer Reviews

quality software
this is an excellent software. having been using Bitdefender for a while and it was time for upgrading, I got this new McAfee, and was not disappointed.

positive points:
-installation is very easy, set it up and let it do its work
- very comprehensive protection, from viruses to trojans, to keyloggers, all what you need
- very easy to configure, which is really good, it does not require an IT expert to know what to do with it
- frequent updates makes it ready for any attacks
- efficient scan
- does not slow down your pc performance, and does not eat up your memory as well compared to Norton for instance.

some negative points would be having to install the security centre, the full system scan could take long time, but it depends on how large your hard drive capacity is. you cannot expect any software to scan a 100 giga hardrive in five minutes for instance.

the interface is quite nice as well, pleasant colors.
in a word, a trust worthy antivirus, McAfee is a solid name and it certainly lives up for it. it gives peace of mind and is easy to use and not so pricey compared to other antivirus software.

Don't buy Mcafee products!
I have just bought McAfee VirusScan Plus 2007 and think it is complete rubbish. I have had Mcafee on my computer for the past year and when my subscription ran out they offered me renewal at a special rate which turned out to be more expensive than buying the product as new! So I bought the product as new - first of all had installation problems which their helpline eventually admitted was their fault (at £1 per minute). Once I got it installed some of the programme was missing - again £1 per minute helpline admitted it was their fault. Then the programme caused error problems on my Outlook Express - again a common problem according to entries on Google. Trying to get a refund is impossible as they have no contact phone numbers, no address, no customer support in case of problems like this. DON'T BUY IT! Plus I would like to see the law changed so that any company offering products for sale online should be compelled to show a contact address plus a contact phone number - and that would be a manned contact address and a manned phone number.

Has done the job for 2 years...
Good solid firewall etc protection that keeps the spammers / pop-ups / trojans at bay, if not a little too well!

There can be problems associated with using E-Bay and various other such internet sites with high security requirements because of McAfee's failure to coordinate their programming/automatic updating functionality with these utilities.

(If you are a NatWest Bank customer (or RBS I assume), I strongly advise you to speak to your bank about ~provision~ of this package. Do so and you will heavily praise this mention of mine.)
