I’ve used McAfee off and on for over twenty years. They have had their ups and downs. Not that long ago, their product was turning into a rather heavy resource hog.
They’ve cleaned up their act and I am happy to have their product back on my home systems.
Installation is easy, updates are handled well and the interface gives you the info you need while otherwise not bothering you a whole lot.
This particular unit is a three license pack, which makes it a healthy bargain as more and more people have multiple PCs or a PC and laptops and this way you need not spend excess money on multiple copies.
The one caveat (and it is not unique to McAfee) is the renewal process. Putting it bluntly, they gouge you on renewal prices. When the time comes, do a bit of research and you should be able to find the newest edition in the open market for significantly less than the renewal cost.
beyond that, this is a great product. You *need* good anti-virus/anti-malware etc and you should get the best and most reliable software to protect yourself. This is one of the best.
I’ve got over 27 years experience with PCs both home and professional. (I currently support over 300 users.) There are only four products I will recommend for protecting a PC and this is one of them.
When the bugs came to roost in my computer I went to a name that I remembered from years ago, McAfee. It failed to load and things got to the point that I had to reformat my hard-drive. I “activated” it with no problems on a clean machine. A week latter I used McAfee to do a clean-up and defrag, after that McAfee prompted me to activate my program again. Their web site kept telling me that the email or password were incorrect. I tried to call them, their lines are only active 6-6 PST. I tried to email them, they say they will respond within 48 hours. After 5 days I got ahold of a guy in India that said I was not the registered owner and I would have to produce a receipt showing that I bought it. His supervisor stated the same but stated he would give me a 30 day trial version to give me time to drive 20 miles each way and get a copy of the receipt. He said he would email me instruction on how to obtain this trial version and where and how to prove I was the owner. 30 hours latter an email arrived saying that I would have to get the receipt before they would continue my subscription. I emailed them a scan of the receipt, the box this junk came in, and the disk and envelope (with the authentication code on it).
If you buy McAfee you are going to have problems, because somebody either cracked my computer or theirs to get my authentication code and register it under their name. This tells me that McAfee products do not protect the machines that they reside in. When your problem does occur you will have to run the gauntlet with their “outsourced” techies, super slow response times, and a corporate attitude that you are trying to scam them.
BTW I ordered another company’s product which will be here in the morning. I didn’t have to send all that proof in but it just irks me the way they treated me like a thief. For the thief that stole my code, the joke is on you!
McAfee told me that currently there is a compatibility issue with Windows 7 64 bit. Their engineers are working on it an a solution is expected in 4 weeks. Although it was pre installed on my laptop, after 2 months I had to reinstall it and while McAfee support worked several hours on it, they didn’t succeed to get it up and running. Forcing me to switch to a competitor product. Too bad as I thought highly of McAfee.
Mc Afee and Norton’s entire stratergy involves getting their names out their so that they’ll be recgonisable and bought by people who know little about computours.
As anti viruses go, they are absoultly terrible. They eat up a ridiculous amount of ram, they inconvinece you, their libaries are crap, their sercruity features are crap, their hard to uninstall or turn off, and Norton will delibertely attack is superiour competion, since they figure if someone uses Avg or such, they will soon have no need for Norton.
This program is useless and overpriced and even a free anti virus like Avast completely out classes this one, and it uses much less ram to do (and somehow has a much better libary to!).
Their is no sane reason to use this or norton over AVg, Panda, Avast or just about ANYTHING else.
Oh yeah and its mostly incompatiable with Windows 7. So I hope your using Xp, because Vista is a horrible, horrible OS. Altrnitvely you could just use WIdnows 7 and run a not completely useless anti virus.
Avoid.
You should definitely buy the 3 user version.
Here is what I found and concluded how the software actually works.
I found when you install this software it will periodically take control of your PC to the point where you will not be able to do anything. This could last 30 minutes to hours. The secret to how it works is if you are like me and are only on your pc 30 minutes a day is that it will take control and you will not be able to browse (surf) internet or read your email. So…..you can’t possibly get a virus.
If you actually would like to use a computer in those 30 minutes then you should buy another one so McAfee software has one to run on and you can actually use the other one (don’t install the McAfee on the new one though or you may need another computer).
Seriously, this software needs a “stop it now” option so if you are on for just a few minutes then don’t do the scan and if you do the scan, why don’t you wait for some inactivity for say 30 minutes before you begin or resume.
Do I have to do everything myself? Can’t you software engineers think of this on your own. Just set the priority low on the virus scan so it allows the user to work and you just use the cycles that are left over.
