Not much of a techie, but I like the options

I'm as paranoid as the next person about computer safety...okay maybe a little less, but my husband is little more. We've been long time Norton users and decided 'what the heck' a bit more security wouldn't hurt. The reality with such programs is when they're working you really don't notice them, as they keep the bad stuff out. The only time I ever really see my security is when there's some crazy tracking cookie detected, a scan is running or there … more

Solid protection but might slow down low-end machines.

McAfee Internet Security is a solid all-around defense suite for your PC. While it works well with freshly-reformatted, it will give low-end, established machines some trouble. I tested it on an established, low-end, 1.8 GHz, 512 RAM Windows XP Home Edition system. As I ran the setup, it immediately informed me that my anti-virus and my spyware must be removed before continuing. Slightly peeved, I felt like I just invited a foreign-exchange student to stay with me, who started re-arranging my furniture. … more

The enforced auto-renewal program is a big negative

It is very difficult for the typical user to provide a truly insightful review of a product like this. Why? Because most of us are already protected from most internet threats by our Internet Service Provider. For example, the router supplied by my DSL provider has a firewall. My domain host screens for viruses and other malware. And, of course, I don't open attachments from strangers or even many of the people I know. Additionally, there are many free utilities that perform … more

Quite a Pain....

I installed this security suite on my laptop and desktop. Both operate on Windows XP, and have specs well above what the stated requirements are on the McAfee box. I've never been a fan of any security software and have used my computers unprotected for many years with no problems, but I figured it was time to upgrade. I've tried Norton, Panda, and a variety of other software and wound up uninstalling them after a few days. My gripe with the McAfee software is that there is … more

A solid virus protection

McAfee has for years been one of the stronger brand names for virus protection, and a lot of educational institutions provide it to their students and faculty for free. However, when it came to home virus protection, it has not always been easy to get a product that will allow users to have it installed on multiple computers. Since multiple computer households are more common these days, this becomes somewhat of a problem, and 'McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008 - 3 User' are becoming increasingly … more

Great program for the average PC user

I rate McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008 - 3 User product a '4' because during installation there are many undocumented software options to install and I received several error messages. I had to install the program directly from the CD instead of the recommend internet install. I needed to update and run a scan before the "at Risk" messages disappeared. However, after I tweak it it has been running smoothly. McAfee offers data privacy options and an EasyNetwork applet to … more
