Unethical billing for online purchases -- BEWARE!
Unethical billing for online purchases -- BEWARE!
Let me say right up front if you DO NOT USE the online download and payment process which McAfee offers, then you should not be subjected to their unethical practices (unless/until you renew online.)
I've used McAfee for several years now, and the product, once paid for and installed, in my experience, has been fine. Yes, it gets annoying at times, with its checks and confirmations, but that's what we want: software to prot...

A Much Better Version
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) Not only did I check with Consumer Reports, but I called family and friends before I bought McAfee. I had previously used "Windows Live One Care" with no problems, but it is not even listed in the "top ten" of anti-virus protection. Norton was placed second best, but I heard too many horror stories. This 2009 version was very easy, easy, easy to install. Immediately, I noticed that on...

When ur PC gets infected..you pay more....
I would highly recommend product like Zone alarm. I own Total protection, recently my PC got infected by XP Police Anti-virus which is a malware. I contacted support, which asked me this can be fixed by mcafee for a fee. I was shocked !!!! First I pay for the service for 1 year and now they demand more money if they want to clean the virus.. whats the point if they cannot fix the virus that my machine has got infected and if they will still charge if machine gets infected.
I would re...

Stay away if you can
This review is from: McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009 3-User [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM) I bought this product to update my 2008 McAfee security center. Installation went flawlessly and then I was prompted to register the product. The registration program rightfully detected I already have an account and updated my account information. I was thrilled.
Then suddenly the McAfee Security Center prompts me to renew my licence, telling me my subscription has expired... Called customer s...

McAfee VirusSan Plus 2009
I recently bought and installed this product.Worked OK.After a few days I started getting a message that my computor wasn't fully protected and that I needed to register the product.Fine.To date I haven't managed to register the product.A pop up registration window doesn't function.E mails to McAfee have been a waste of time.They are fixated on an Anti virus program I have installed on a notebook computor.
I would not buy this product again.

crashed my system
This review is from: McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009 3-User [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM) I recently bought a new Dell desktop which came with a 30 day trial of McAfee VirusScan 2009. After I installed the trial version (good for 30 days) it crashed my computer. I had to get help from a level 3 technician from Dell which cost me $135.00 to help me rebuild and restore my computer. I have other versions of McAfee on my old desktop and they drove me nuts with popups, and annoying messages...

90 day version
only good for 90 days, buy.com states the value is $35 is wrong. The ad should clearly state it is not a 1 year subscription

I HATE THIS PROGRAM
I HATE THIS PROGRAM. Everyday there is something it does to waste my time. The most annoying ritual is I have to activate it several times a day. When I missed doing so, I had to re-install the program (downloading and installation - about 90 minutes). Several times a month the automatic update causes errors, at the least I have to stop everything and re-boot several time, or more often than not, the program informs me I have to re-install ... again. It doesn't work in the background eith...

Not a good product. Does not protect from trojans
This review is from: McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009 3-User [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM) I Installed this product in three of my PCs. Two of them got infected with trojans. The McAfee Viruscan Plus 2009 didn't stop the infections to occur and it is not even capable to detect them when I run a scan of my infected computers. The only option McAfee offers to clean my PCs cost extra money, about $90, so I think this product is worthless.
I had to download a FREE shareware from the int...
