  Slow Go

  Pros: Does protect you computer from some nasty things.

  Cons: Resource HOG. Active Shield does what it says, at a cost of 40 to 50 percent of your system resources.

  Annoying Product Offers

  by on January 26, 2004

  Pros: Faster than NAV.

  Cons: I bought AV and do not need to be reminded about other McAfee products. Definition updates are somewhat strange -- it opens web browser instead just downloading updates in its own GUI. Annoying splash screen every time it starts, but the Security Center t

  works, but there are better programs

  by on December 17, 2003

  Pros: attractive interface, works OK

  Cons: Have to buy each piece (spam, virus, firewall, privacy) seperate, after reloading a couple of times I decided to replace and it took me hours to get it off my computer. Read the instructions for manual removal at the McAffe website before you buy. Conside

  Finally a product that WORKS!

  Install Nighmare on XP Home

  by on December 4, 2003

  Pros: I have used this product for two versions now and have been fairly happy until now. The new version 8.0 simply will not install on XP Home. I have spent days trying all the registry cleaning and file deletions to no avail. Would not recommend upgrade f

  I was once a first time user, not again!

  by on November 20, 2003

  Pros: Easier to install than Norton 2004 AV.

  Cons: I removed NAV 2004, because I thought the scanning was slow, but after installing McAfee, I found that this one is VERY slow. It took almost 25 minutes longer than Norton, on my same computer! I removed the scan for compressed files for both, prior to sca

  Stick with 7.0

  by on November 13, 2003

  Pros: Not much

  Cons: This is the most dumb down version. 1) First of all when you install it doesn't allow you to choose which directory to install to. 2) ActiveX every where. You need ActiveX on in order to use this product. ActiveX is well known for security risk. 3) Vi

  Killed Netscape & IE!!

  by on November 12, 2003

  Pros:

  Cons: I just "upgraded" from 7.0 to 8.0 and it killed both of my browsers! It also messed up my installation of SpamKiller, which happens to be a McAfee product.
