Pros: none
Cons: the entire product
I don't usually write negative reviews about anything, as a matter of fact, this is my first, but this product has got to be brought to everyone's attention.
A few weeks ago, I had a great deal of computer problems and had to have a few very...

Pros: Less intrusive than Norton Antivirus.
Cons: Getting too bloated and more proned to crashes.
Program bloat comes with instability, large footprint, and more headaches. Just look at each new installment of Windows (espically the latest - Windows XP). McAfee VirusScan used to be a very small footprint virus scanner, and has been until version...

Pros: Excellent update utilization.
Cons: It just doesn't remove viruses.
"Twenty years ago when I first entered the PC scene, computer viruses were more of a novelty subject than a threat. As time progressed, so did the onslaught of real computer viruses. Those without proper protection will surely meet the face of...

Pros: virus updates for life
Cons: none

Pros: It was free, came preinstalled on computer
Cons: It didn't catch the virus
I never had any contact whatsoever with McAfee VirusScan before I got my new Hewlett Packard computer last week. It came preinstalled with this anti-virus program. No disk or manual came with it though. HP computers have their own recovery CD's with...

Pros: up-to-date virus definitions, easy to use interface that requires little work on your part
Cons: some releases have been a little buggy!
Choosing a VirusScan software is kind of like choosing a fire alarm for your house. You really like the product until something goes goes wrong and it doesn't work properly! That's why I am completely amazed when I work on a client's computer and see...

Pros: none
Cons: crashes my computer... virtually impossible to delete off the computer
I bought my computer about 7 months ago, and McAfee came pre-installed. Like most people today, I have a computer geek friend, and he recommended that I use Norton utilities instead of McAfee, due to the fact that he's had some really bad experiences...

Pros: absolutely none
Cons: slows system way down, can't keep pace with new viruses
I think that about says it, at least it works better than this product. Yes, this is a rant but there is meaning and experience behind it.
In the beginning there was the computer, and it was good. Then there came the virus, and it was bad....

Pros: While Operational, It Works Semi-Productively
Cons: Slows Down System Performance, Locks Up Internet Explorer
It used to be easy to go online and not have to worry about anything, but not anymore. Computer systems have just become more and more vulnerable, as the programmers are working day and night to might the operating system more user friendly. More user...

Pros: provides comprehensive virus protection
Cons: difficult for some users
Okay, I admit it. We've owned a computer for eight years and we've never had virus protection software. I know that we're not "at risk" users in that we don't swap disks with people and we rarely (if ever) download programs off the...

Pros: Virus protection??? Where?? When??
Cons: No virus protection
Of all the computers that I have in my home, they unfortunately came with McAfee. Yes, you heard me right. I despise this supposed virus scan software. And for very good reasons.
When we bought our first computer, McAfee was already...

Pros: Terrific program!
Cons: Lousy customer service
Hate the customer service. I've used McAfee for years, and have always been happy with their virus scan (though it's only flagged me once in all these years--I'm very careful about downloading and such). A year and a half ago, I purchased version 4.0.2...

Pros: Can save your bacon
Cons: Takes some resources
Did you ever think you would get infected? I didn’t, but I installed the McAfee Online Virus Shield anyway, and I’m glad I did.
One of my e-mail friends sent me one of the I Love You viruses other day. Since it was from a trusted source...

Pros: Quick, Reliable, Effective and reasonably priced.
Cons: None that I've found.
McAfee has always been one of my favorite virus scanning applications, since the days when it was just a relatively simple MS-DOS application, till the all new and improved Windows version of today. Every virus related problem I've ever had (thankfully,...

Pros: Peace of mind, very meticulous
Cons: none
I purchased the McAfee virus scan deluxe version quite some time ago and have been extremely happy with the product. The product is very easy to install and provides you with the peace of mind that your computer is being guarded by the best virus scan...
