- Will not allow other programs to run properly
- We've run this software with no problems for a few months now, but after a harddrive failure and subsequent need to reload our Windows 2000 Pro OS and all other programs, we've had nothing but issues. After reinstallation of VirusScan 10.0, it will not allow our IE 6.0 browser or Outlook mail programs to run- the programs start but the moment you click on a link or attempt to open an email, the programs quit. Nor will VirusScan update itself without crashing. McAfee's tech help pointed us to a manual uninstall program they have available on their website on the presumption that portions of the program were remaining after Windows uninstall and were causing conflicts. This did not help. We are now looking for a more reliable antivirus program.

- Windows 98 users, get yourself a new computer
- I'm still using a computer that runs on Windows 98, McAfee is one of the few antivirus programs that supposedly still supports it.
System requirements
Windows 98 (that's me), Me, 2000, or XP
Personal computer with Pentium-compatible processor(I've got a Pentium II)
Windows 98, 2000: Pentium 133 MHz or higher processor (Win 98 and a 450Mhz processor for me)
64 MB RAM for Windows 98 (I've got 128 instead of just 64), Me, 2000; 128 MB RAM for Windows XP (Home and Pro)
I was going to buy this version of McAfee, I'm currently using 2005 version 9.0 but about midway through my year's worth of use my PC really started slowing down.
Bootup, starting up my ISP program- it all drags now and I don't think it's because I've got an old machine. McAfee has found some viruses, trojans and worms for me, I will give it credit for that, but since 9.0 has drug my system down so much (and crashed my PC once or twice during updates I'm afraid to even consider buying 10.0).
The way 9.0 drags me down 10.0 can only get worse. I wouldn't be surprised if version 10.0 is the last McAfee to support Windows 98, we'd all be better off upgrading our machines to new models and not dealing with the slow action on the old ones. - 2006-03-26, 6 of 11 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Not Good..
- I am going back to Norton...Biggest mistake I ever did..Plant some virus and try if this software can find it NO WAY...Sure this is fast, scanning entire computer in about 8 min compared with about 30-40 min with norton ..but this doesn't work..I think thats the whole goal of antivirus software..
I am wondering why I am giving 2 stars..I guess.just that I am generous... - 2006-03-03, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Its ok.
- Well installation process of this product is not ok in Windows XP machine. It reboots like 2 times before it could completly install the software which is not good. Norton Antivirus does not do so.
It does not detect spyware on the fly. When it runs the scheduled scan or manual scan then it detects for spyware. Spyware scan should be active all the time like Virus Scan.
I would say it could have been better. - 2006-02-21, 4 of 7 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Still a great product for me.
- I have read all the reviews complaining about this product but I have been using for years and I have yet to have any problems. This one does appear to be an improvement over last years version when it comes to scanning though. I use Norton at work because it is the chosen product of our I.T. dept. but it is clunky and slow in my opinion. For me McAfee is the way to go.
