McAfee VirusScan

2008-03-18
I have been using McAfee for a long time and I have never been disappointed with its peformance. It has been very good for me and easy to use.

AVG anti virus is Free online, why pay money...

2008-03-09
Folks I used Norton system works a couple of years ago, then I decided to switch to this McAfee stuff only to hate its anoying bell rings and some other things etc. Then somebody on a online chat room told me about AVG anti virus and the anti-virus is free to download and stays updated. If you think about it all you really need is the anti-virus, microsoft has you cover with a firewall and most spyware blocker tools, so all you really need is the anti-virus. Its been several months and I have had no virus, NONE, no problems NONE at all. Hands down, AVG anti virus has been the best thing that has ever happen to me, it doesnt bother you and it does the job extremly well and it updates when needed. And the best part, IT FREE... :D

P.S. Not saying McAfee is no good, I'm sure it does the job, but the reason I'm with AVG right now is its free :/

It works!

My experience with VirusScan Plus has been good so far. I had a little trouble installing it and had to contact online customer support, but the wait time was minimal (less than 9 minutes) and they were able to send me a link to uninstall McAfee and reinstall it. Now it's working like a charm. I tried CA and Norton and so far this one seems to work the best.

McAfee in one word "Outstanding"

2008-02-13
I have used other products in the past to try something else besides McAfee, but nothing even comes close to the best protection, for the best price. This program has an easy to use interface, it doesn't use as much resources as other programs, and it's firewall, virus, and network protection with alerts, keeps me informed if the constant changes to my computer. The Site Advisor lets me know if I am on a true site or fake site used for phishing. I would highly suggest that you get this product.

adequate & well priced

2008-02-08
We have used NAV, Trend Pcillin and McAfee. We came back to McAfee this year due primarily to price. McAfee seems to have poor customer service compared to the others, but the program is we hope adequate.

I was concerned that the box said there were conflicts with Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy. We run both of those programs and we still do. We have not noticed conflicts, so I hope they are not reducing McAfee's effectiveness. I do not think it is wise of McAfee to have a built-in conflict with two such extremely popular anti-spyware programs.

I would tell McAfee this directly, but as I said they do not have good customer service.

VirusScan Plus

2008-06-23
It does not work well. It repeatedly comes out with an error message and asks to be re-installed. The re-instalation does not help.

Only updates Monday to Friday!

2008-05-28
It's the first antivirus product (I've used Kaskpersky, Panda, Avira, AVG and Norton) that updates only from monday to friday! Is it reasonable? Do McAfee think that worms and virus appear only on business days? Other con is that The firewall doesn't block all ports according to two different online tests.

Pros are that the product doesn't slow Windows Vista, is light on resources and has good virus/worms detection rate according to indepedent studies.

But the thing is that McAfee only updates once a day between 11am-3pm and that gives me the impression that I'm not properly protected...

MacAfee Security System

2008-04-29
For me this is the easiest system to load and use and covers all that I personally need for my computer. Have used this product for the past 3 years.

After 4 months it is already requiring renewal

2008-04-14
I thought when I purchased the product I would have at least a year. After 4 months the updating is suspended and I am told to renew whenever the computer comes up. I have disabled the wireless because it interferes with using the PC at internet cafes and my home network is protected. Therefore I get annoying messages about that as well as the spam blocker.
