Help I'm Trapped! Watch Out You Don't Get Trapped
This review is from: McAfee Total Protection 2009 3-User [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM) I have no complaints about the operation of this product on a Windows Vista system, but somehow (in my opinion in a sneaky manner) without my awareness, the "Auto-renewal" feature was set up that automatically updates at the end of the year and directly charges your credit card!
To stop this "feature", they give you three options, but none are easy. Using phone call costs you. The chat ...

Partially effective "nagware" that does not properly remove Spyware
This review is from: McAfee Total Protection 2009 3-User [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM) When computer users were searching for a term to apply to computer programs that came loaded with viruses, harmful DRM (Digital Rights Management) or other insidious ways of slowing down the user's computer, they eventually settled on "Malware."
Its time to coin a new term for programs like McAfee Total Protection. My complaints against the program are only partially related to its abi...

If I were a turtle I would love it
This review is from: McAfee Total Protection 2009 3-User [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM) The minute I put it on my system I knew I should not have. My system slowed by ~60% (easily). Both McAfee and Nortons are known memory hogs, but I figured that maybe since Norton finally caught on and improved that issue with their 2009 version, that McAfee followed suit. I was SO WRONG!! I removed it within 48 hours (and it was a pain to get it all off) Thank goodnees I bought it as a GB spec...

McAfee is worse than the viruses it claims to protect against.
This review is from: McAfee Total Protection 2009 3-User [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM) I used McAfee Internet Security Suite for several years and it created more problems than it cured. It generated a nag pop-up that could not be controlled, returning as soon as it was dismissed. One year McAfee made an unauthorized charge to my credit card to renew three months before my subscription was to expire and at their full price, not the sale price offered in their regular e-mail offerngs...

not worth the money
This review is from: McAfee Total Protection 2009 3-User [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM) I have ran mcaffee for 3 months. It worked fine. Now it tells me every three seconds that my computer is under attack. Every website I go to is now unprotected (Amazon, AOL, google, compuserve, even Mcaffee). I tried to download Panda antivirus. Mcaffee identified it as ,you guessed it, a virus. This is the perfect software for the person who wants to shut down his computer forever. Once I...

Works Great
This review is from: McAfee Total Protection 2009 3-User [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM) Easy installation plus user friendly. However if your computer has other anitvirus protection you'll have to completely remove it or you'll experience difficulties. I've been using McAfee for years...no problem whatsoever. Nevertheless I always opt for buying the CD rather than the download.

McAfee Total Protection 2009
This progam has been nothing but trouble for me from the start. I can not get the product registered and my it has caoused my email to operate slowly. I should have purchased the Norton 2009 Protection. If I could get my money back I would. Do not buy this product.
