 McAfee: Most bang for your buck! September 24, 2009
Quoizimodo (Pacoima California)
44 out of 47 found this review helpful
With Bit Defender and Kaperski, McAfee rates in the top 3 on many internet security reviews (#2). Here are my 10 cents worth after using all 3 of the above. Bit Defender has an excellent firewall but during a full scan, it tends to slow down the computer quite a bit. Of the 3, Kaperski has the fastest scan. Both Mc and Ski have very good firewall. But only Mc's firewall was certified by ICSA labs in 2009. Of the 3, I found Mc's Antivirus to be superior to the other 2 ( a solid A minus - B+ for the others). It was particularly well suited in detecting malicious items from foreign websites. The user interface in Mc's was more friendly than the other 2. Although ski's is only slightly just a notch behind. Mc's uses simple to understand traffic lights. Red: warning do not click into the website. Yellow: use caution. Green: OK! What could be more simple. In terms of price Mc's is stuck between the two.
Therefore here is the verdict: Bit defender - Excellent Firewall and above average AntiVirus. Slow scan and excellent price. Kaperski: very good firewall and Antivirus. Fastest Scan. It does everything very well, but does not excel in one particular area. Downside: a little pricey. Reviewer's choice: McAfee. A very good firewall and excellent Antivirus. Scan speed C+. Full of features and user friendly (a 7 year old could understand their color code). McAfee has set the standard for your complete computer protection. It's a no brainer.
It is what it is - until it fails at that. October 12, 2009

I purchased this on a goldbox deal and installed it on two computers in the last week.
As the title says: it is what it is.
It's a "protection package" that you basically buy for the antivirus . . . the rest is basically social engineering.
Firewall & "Internet Protection" is subjective -- if you only surf and e-mail, it's helpful, but otherwise it blocks ports, which you could be using for one protocol or another. Adding a firewall to an average person's machine is terribly frustrating if a port needs to be opened. Worse, if they need support to talk them through doing so, if the software isn't VERY intuitive it can add to this experience. I've yet to encounter "home" software that is good at this.
Antivirus - it's one of the leading brands; not much to expect, not hard to meet the expectation.
Backup & Restore - honestly, there's nothing better than making your own backups. Lots of good software exists to automatically back up your software, but I wouldn't purchase this package for this particular reason.
Web Filter - again, there are better and there are worse. If you're REALLY concerned about the parental filtering, you need to get a dedicated service that is proactive about updates, not an afterthought on a package. Some browsers have features like this built-in, but I've yet to find one that didn't have false positives (as I don't visit sites with malware).
Updates . . . if you just "fix" security issues, it may enable MS updates. This led me on a 2-hour reinstall of drivers . . . but that's a Microsoft issue, not necessarily this software. You should keep your Windows updated, but you need to set aside time to do updates and MAKE SURE things work afterwards . . . it's just a peril of Windows.
==============================================================================================================
Update - I have to, unfortunately, send this to the "do not buy" list.
On my mother's work computer, my father was (reluctantly) trying to catch up on e-mails and clicked on a "forwarded" message URL which brought him to the most convincing scareware site I'd ever seen. It did an install of an "antivirus" program which totally and utterly rendered McAfee useless without so much as a peep from the real antivirus. The result was a set of self-downloading viruses and trojans that I was only able to exercise through safe-mode (disable EVERYTHING that starts up) then use of Panda online, Symantec online (and something else I can't remember). Each removed malware & viruses that the others managed to leave behind.
After I'd corrected those issues, McAfee was monopolizing the processor and memory starting on login and had to be uninstalled.
It's a shame that people have to go through this - I had a hard time and know (relatively speaking) what I'm doing. Panda and Norton (in my experience) may not have prevented you from clicking on something that scares you into installing it, but they would have prevented some of the additional infections and at least notified you of the problem. McAfee was easily circumvented.
Good luck folks.
This product has worked wonderfully for me November 24, 2009

I installed McAfee about 6 weeks ago and have loved the result. It is easy to navigate and change settings if necessary, including parental controls. Previous internet security software has slowed my computer, but McAfee Internet Security runs silently in the background without slowing down the computer, has faster start-up, shut-down and scan times. This software also contains the latest Active Protection technology, which provides immediate protection against threats to your computer (literally takes a fraction of a second to detect and respond to threats). I think that for the protection that you get, you can't beat the price.
Here are the benefits of using McAfee:
Anti-virus
Anti-spyware
Anti-spam
Anti-phishing
Two-way Firewall
Web Site Safety Ratings (McAfee Site Advisor)
Identity Protection
Parental Controls
Data Backup
Here are the system requirements.
Microsoft® Windows 2000 (32-bit) with Service Pack 4 (SP4) or higher,
Windows XP (32-bit) with Service Pack 1 (SP1) or higher,
Windows Vista (32- or 64-bit) and Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) or higher
Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit)
So far, so good December 29, 2009

For my own computer, I tend to install a minimum of antivirus/protection software. I don't like software that drags down my system resources, even though I understand the benefits of that software.
For my parents' computer, however, it's a different story. Too often, they've made the mistake of downloading the wrong software or opening the wrong attachment. So, they need to install something to protect them from those kinds of mistakes.
I'm happy to say that this software installed easily, seems very unobtrusive, and has no noticeable impact on system performance. I installed the software on a 3-year-old Dell XPS system. It was a custom installation including the website advisor (which gives a green light when the website is deemed "safe"), the firewall, and the antivirus software. So far, so good. I expect I can now let my parents go about their day-to-day web surfing and e-mail sending and receiving with minimal interruption.
Great value February 17, 2010

I have returned back to my reliable antivirus program.
There are so many Anti-virus programs out there. You have to wonder who is doing the research to find the new viruses. Are they all working independently to find and solve the problems. Who really has the best up-to-date research and solutions? I read the reviews and Vipre has good reviews.
I decided to first try the trial version. But when I loaded the software some unexpected things happened. My favorite web browser Foxfire gives an error message which has to be dismissed three times before I can access the program. I mean every time I try to use the browser. One of my commercial games was disabled and disappeared from the desktop. Who knows what else it might have done.
After a few days I unloaded it put on the McAfee Anti-virus. The feature I like about McAfee that other anti-virus programs I have used is that McAfee Site-Advisor gives you a rating of most websites before you open them up to let you know they have been evaluated. I will stick with McAffe or Norton from now on, companies that all well know for their performance and have been in the business a long time that I can feel more comfortable with. Occasionally I sense the computer slowing down as it performs an up-date but at least I know it is working for me to do something instead of being totally invisible and wondering if it is working at all.
A couple of things I wish McAfee would do is make access to scan results more easily available. Also I wish they had a better website that gave news updates about threats and how they are being solved. If they do I haven't found them.
