"Very bad"
Software recently underwent a major upgrade which totally broke it, numerous problems with updates and conflicts between subscriptons. major security flaw in security center and patch has significantly slowed my system down. No tech support unless you pay through the nose for it. Symantec and Trend Micro both have their probs but are still better security solutions than this trash!

"Upgrade Confusion"
I purchased two copies of the software. One copy installed correctly on a new laptop. When I tried to install the second copy on a desktop on which I had previously used it, it said I already had a later version installed. Now I am having problems with the previous subscription vs. the new upgrade I purchased.

"Bad"
If I could rate the product, 11.0 upgrade, I would rate it zero stars.

"If You think 10.0 is bad, just wait until you get 11.0"
I have a subscription to McAfee Virus scan updates and had an older version of virus scan installed on my PC for years. No major problems until now. I received a notice that an updated version was available FREE for download. RUN!

I never should have installed it. It contains a new security center and virus scan 11.0. Also included is a basic firewall program and spyware protection. My Windows XP came to its knees. Downloading emails took 10 - 15 seconds for a few text emails. When it began to scan the whole computer, nothing else could gain access to the system, not even the task manager for awhile. Opening a browser took 3 - 4 times longer. Everything slowed down. I disabled the spyware and firewall programs, but to no avail. I unloaded the software and reloaded it again after wiping out all references in the registry and removing all McAfee file folders (as instructed by McAfee tech support). Reinstalled just the virus scan by downloading from McAfees web site.

Set the software to just scan only files and folders and not everything (again as instructed by tech support). Still no measureable improvement. It seems the new security center is the hog. Just try to disable a couple of the features, such as instant messaging scans (I don't do instant messaging) and the software tells you "You aren't completely protected" turn it back on by clicking "fix it now". If you don't fix it, you have another icon in the system tray that won't go away.

I called the customer service for McAfee and was told if I wanted an older version of just virus scan mailed to me on a CD to install, it would cost me $13, since only the newer version can be downloaded now from the site. No older versions are available online, even though that is where I purchased it originally and installed it from their site. No CD.

I'm disgusted now. My subscription for updates runs another 3 months and I don't want to install the version 11.0 which will automatically download and install from the company's web site.

Reading the reviews for Norton Anti Virus software doesn't instill any hope either. I also used to have Zone Alarm firewall on my PC for years, until they improved it recently. Now it causes the system to crawl and if it is uninstalled, it won't reinstall a previous or current version without getting an error that a .dll file is missing.

"Virus Scan 3 User Pack"
Worked as it always has for years. No problems with virus intrusions.

"McAfee VirusScan 2006 Version 10.0 [Old Version] ", Always love and trust Mc Afee security products they are easy to install and don't bog down computers as much as some security products do and don't have that intrusive windows that come up continuously like other security softwares have I recommend this product for all users

"McAfee is the Way To Go!!!", I have used McAfee 2006 for over a year and it seems to be faster than Norton. In addition it has adobe reader which installs in two minutes rather than waiting for the "free" online adobe reader (www.adobe.com) that takes hours to install and you are not guaranteed that it will install at the end of the process, from experience. Although McAfee's Adobe Reader is the 5.0 version, it reads all my documents fine and I do not think I need to download the laborious online adobe reader (www.adobe.com) anymore. Yes, McAfee is the way to go. The McAfee antivirus scan always tells me to update to 2007. Although I have the 2007, I am still afraid of using it for fear it may not have an Adobe Reader (let me hope that it does). Past experiences especially with Norton suggests that updating to a new version does not necessarily produce better results. Maybe I will update to McAfee virusscan 2008, while still retaining my 2006 and 2007 Mcafee versions. Norton is a thieving company. I wanted to retain my 2005 Version of it since the 2006 was too sensitive to some of my installments and they cancelled my 2005 version which was working far better. For me, no more Norton, which is bloated, slow and inflexible. Does the McAfee viruscan 2008 have Adobe reader? If it does, I will go for it. For now, it is McAfee all the way...

"Not my choice", The McAfee Security Center came with my laptop, so I signed up for a year of updates and let the thing run. I had never before had to deal with virus protection software since I had always used a laptop provided by my company, with the corporate version of whatever they were using installed already.

But the personal laptop I bought was a little different so I sucked it up and placed the order. When the software was enabled, after the first 90 days of ownership of the laptop, I noticed immediately that internet access slowed to a crawl, that general PC performance slowed noticeably and that my frustration level increased proportionally to the decrease in my laptop's responsiveness. So I set about to "tune" McAfee, with help (if you could call it that) from their support team. What a joke. After using the software for about 3 months, I uninstalled it and went "bareback" until this month, when I purchased Norton 360. What a difference. Fast, easy to install, certainly efficient, and an all inclusive package.

I have 8 months of McAfee updates paid for if anyone wants it. I'm keeping my Norton.



"Beware of McAfee Rebate Scams", McAfee doesn't honor rebates as advertised. You can follow instructions to the tee and they denied the rebate for "missing" documentation that you did enclosed. Make copys of all documentation and then it's a roll of the dice whether you recieve the rebate.

"Slowed to crawl", Much as it pains me to dump something that is current and paid for, McAfee is such a system-hog that my computer existed only to feed VirusScan's unnatural craving for more system resources. This was once a useful, well-behaved program that got sucessively worse with each upgrade. I got use of my computer back as soon as I uninstalled it.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Dell OEM Version", Dell is now shipping new computers with a version of McAfee 10 pre installed. Based on my prior experience with McAfee, this was a plus. - I thought. Ever since receiving my new computer in late April 2006, I have been having slow-downs or lock-ups for no apparent reason. During the last week or so, it has failed to run Outlook or Internet Explorer and I have been forced to resort to my wireless notebook computer for browsing or emails. IE would not even allow me to open it to the point that I could try different settings. Last night I spent about four hours on the phone or in between calls with Dell Technical Service repairing the OS. Nothing worked. During my last call the Dell rep. asked if I had a good backup as the next step would reload the OS, during which the hard drive would be reformatted. I said "Good Night" and hung up. Based on another review read here, I went into McAfee and started "Dumbing Up" the anti-virus. After I disabled the Spam Blocker, the computer appeared to work OK. I am planning to leave the Virus scan running to see what that does for now. I guess that time will tell. I am thinking about uninstalling this version and loading only the Virus Scan, If possible. I am afraid to try any other product now, after reading other reviews.

"Worst Virus Software I've Seen", This is not a good virus software. I only bought it because I'd recently had to format my hard drive and the virus software that came with my computer no longer worked (it turns out you can only reload that code once) and I was completely without protection. A virus threat well known in the country was said to go off that night, so my run to Wal-Mart had no luck in finding Norton, the one software I'd grown to like (for the most part). So, I tried McAfee. I was immeadiately unhappy with it upon using it for the first time because it advertises other McAfee products from its own pop-up windows. Also, if it takes a direct hit from a virus, it does usually catch it, but immeadiately turns off for some oddball reason. Every time I get a hit, I have to open the "Security Center" panel and re-enable the virus protection. The only good part about it is that it does keep itself updated as long as you keep the subscription paid for. It sucks...get Norton!

"You will not receive your rebate. I promise.", I purchased this product from Best Buy and was told by the clerk, "But you'll never get that rebate." When I asked why not, he told me it was because McAfee commits rampant rebate fraud and that they "lost" (he used finger quotes) documents from rebate submissions. I poo-poo'ed his comments and bought the product anyway.

After carefully packaging my rebate materials (I'm an attorney, and an anal-retentive one at that), I sent my rebate off -- only to be told that I didn't put the UPC or the proof of prior Symantec purchase in my package.

That kid was right on. Pretty bad when you hear about the fraud from the retailer of the product.

BEFORE YOU BUY THIS PRODUCT, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO USE THE GOOGLE SEARCH ENGINE FOR "MCAFEE REBATE SCAM" or "MCAFEE REBATE FRAUD." If only I had done this and/or listened to the store clerk at Best Buy...

"Effective protection", I have used Norton AntiVirus with my computer before and got McAfee bundled with my laptop. I upgraded the bundled OEM version with 10.0 and so far I did not had any virus attack. Looks like it is doing the job its supposed to.

One little problem is that during every system startup it does an autoupdate and it just takes another min of the startup time. It has blocked many online virus attacks nicely when I browse through websites.

But looks like it wont block the ads. So I use the adsense (available free for private use through google) to remove adwares.

Generally this has done a good job so far, just that you have to be cautious and make sure that it is always running and protecting your computer.

"This is a Virus itself!", Have installed this P.O.S. (Piece of *) on 2 office computers and has given us nothing but problems.
It updates almost every day and it took me forever to figure out how to update manually because they hide everything. There are so many pop-ups that you would think you have just downloaded and installed a spyware. Once I got figured out how to update manually (after 5 frustrating minutes), I need to go to their website and LOG-IN to their website every time I want it to update!
Whenever I run some other programs or send multiple emails, it prompts me to allow it or block it. What the hell?
I was so frustrated that I tried uninstalling it and did not realize that I had to disable the program from STARTUP before I was able to uninstall. I tried ctrl+alt+del closing everything McAfee but it wouldn't let me. I just saved you guys 15 minutes of work trying to figure out how to delete this McAFEE VIRUS. I'm going back to Norton.
