- Too much hassle
- I usually would accept McAfee, but I am going back to try Norton, McAfee has caused many problems with hanging the PC, although if you just want VirusScan, then that might work ok, but then why buy the suite. Privacy looked so good too, but it causes IE to not accept cookies even when they are enabled. This also hogs the RAM big time. You can buy, but beware.

- I wish I'd read the reviews before buying
- I've been a McAfee user since I bought my first PC. Never had a problem, so when my software was nearing its expiration I bought the latest version without thinking to check reviews. Fiasco: I can't even get through the installation process. (If you're having the same trouble, here's a page that might help you, though it didn't help me: http://forums.mcafeehelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=14467.)
Buy Norton instead -- I mean, after you've read the reviews (my new rule: READ REVIEWS FIRST). Systemworks 2005 installed with no problems (except GoBack, but I haven't looked into fixes yet, and anyway that's another story). - 2005-05-12, 6 of 6 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- This IS a virus!
- Who needs to catch a computer virus when you can pay good money to BUY one from McAfee. This software is HORRIBLE. It will cause more problems than any worm out there. It wiped out ALL of my archived emails, let in Spam, deleted new messages, has its own damn Pop-ups. And to add to the frustration, McAfee provides NO technical support....NO phone support (unless you want to pay $39 per call,NO email support; only a nonfunctioning "chat" and a forum that nobody answers. Do yourself a favor and AVOID this product.

- Incompatabliity problems.
- I bought this program instead of Norton for my new computer because I read about how Norton is a resourse hog.
Well, I didn't notice a difference with computer speed.
But, Mcafee internet security doesn't function well with my other programs.
Mcafee won't run with some games and the Privacy service seems to freeze up often.
Annoying pop ups from the updater program are frequent and slow down other programs and even ask you to restart your computer.
Norton never did this.
I am very dissapointed with Mcafee and am going to uninstall it and buy Norton. (I read bad reviews about Trend Microcillin on this website so I won't get that one either.)
Don't buy Mcafee! - 2005-04-29, 6 of 7 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- It Works Fine For Me..
- I read several reviews about this product and was not sure if i want to buy this or not, however i decided to buy this product since i had good experience with Mcafee Personal Firewall and Virus Protection bundle 2004. Further more i had also tried Norton, but it takes much too much space in my memory, even if i had P4 2.8 HT processor, it felt like old celeron processor with Norton working.
I have been using this product since a week now, it is working great, installation was just easy, never gave me any trouble. It also works great with my Windows XP SP2 built in virus protection and Firewall.
Good THINGS ::
1. It almost handles all the hacker attacks on your computer without any trouble ( a must for DSL users)
2. You can customise the security level and it will only ask you for suspicious activities to be permitted or not.
3. works great, no conflict with any other software or even with my Windows XP security system.
4. Automatic updates,(you will not even know it is happening !!)
Bad THINGS:
1.Most of the time you will not have choise to temporarily allow the script just once.(It does it every now and then)
2. Updates takes a long long time since it updates every module differently,(i.e. it will update virusscan, then spam killer etc). For dialup users it might be a little problem.
Overall
ITS GOOD for the MONEY !! works great(no complain there) - 2005-04-20, 3 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
