WARNING! AUTO-RENEW SCAM
WARNING
If you buy this product McAfee will auto-bill your credit card every year for $[...]. You CANNOT turn this off via the web. You must go through customer service and it is NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE to accomplish. They give you the total run around.
It is one of the slimmiest policies I have ever seen. Totally disgusting!
DON'T BE SUCKERED!

Fair Product - Abysmally Supported
Regretfully, Amazon wouldn't publish the entire transcript between me and Nirmal (I mentally refer to him as Nimrod) that I dealt with last night.
A year ago I purchased my Dell computer with Vista. Yeah I know, I see my folly now. Those Mac commercials are kind, Vista is much worse. Anyway, the McAfee security suite completely conflicted with the computer, and after three weeks of aggrevation, they finally got it to work (basically I had to turn off the error warnings).
No...

Watch Your Bank Account
McAfee have recently introduced AUTOMATIC RENEWAL. It sounds harmless enough, but what that means is, without telling you first, or informing you via email, you are 'opted-in' to this new service, which debits your bank account for cover renewal well in advance.
Basically, they take money from your account without your permission or consent, using your card details they have on record. Not only that, but you can't cancel the automatic renewal service from your online McAfee account; n...

Files you expect to be backed up are NOT backed up
Only backs up a limted set of specified file types.
I started using the FULL Archive feature on the folders I specified expecting ALL files in those folders to be backed up. Several days later, much to my surprise, i discovered that many of my most important files (Outlook .pst, Office One Note (.one), Quickbooks .qbw, my iTunes music (.m4a files), and who knows what else were NOT being backed up).
ONLY SELECTED FILE TYPES ARE BACKED UP. There are default file types that a...

Great Protection!
This is a great product but only if you have Windows Vista. I installed it on a computer with XP and one with Vista. It slowed the computer with XP down a bit, but somehow the computer with Vista ran much faster. It has great features, it has most protection plus it can clean old or unnecessary files from your computer to free space. It advises you of any changes to your computer. It can even manage a network if you have one. Things that I don't like about this product is the firewall, and somet...

shut down machine
After loading it the program completely shutdown my computer. It took several hours to remove the program and get my computer up and running again. Downloaded a free anti virus program from AVG and it works great.

Another resource hog
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Extensive coverage
Cons: Everything else - resource hog that sucks up your rig's resources, slows down everything else. Not an intuitive end-user experience, does not carry over your existing security configuration. Took an additional 20 mins or 40+% more time to scan the entire computer. Gave false positive results and customer service was pretty low.

McAfee Internet Security Suite
Pros: Installed without a hitch. For the cost of the program you can install on three seperate computers. Fairly simple to navigate. Effectively found three separate malicious programs on one my computers that went unprotected for some time. Covers a multitude of issues/services; including mail spam, antivirus, website security advisor,etc......... Everything in one box.
Cons: Practically takes ownership of your PC. Slows down the PC to the point of being painful. Make sure you have l...

SO much better!
I was a loyal McAfee customer for years up until 2006, when I went to upgrade to the newest version of the Internet Security Suite. I was a bit put off by all the bad reviews it'd gotten, and I had been a little frustrated with McAfee slowing down my computer with the previous verion I'd had, so I decided to give Norton Internet Security Suite 2007 a try.
BAD MOVE. I was very unhappy with it, and was even more unhappy that neither Norton nor McAfee seemed to have put out a decent pro...
