Daniel, Lancashire

Score 3.0/10

+ Has everything you need for onine protection.

- It slows the computer systems down to such a degree that the computer takes a long time to load a single web page. It doesn't state this on the packaging but it really does mess up the computer system when installed.

Christopher, Keighley

Score 8.0/10

+ very easy to use

- after installing it stops the computer from functioning properley i.e. goes very slow, programs do not start, and wireless card and lan does not work. the way i got around it is when installing make sure that all the updates are installed before turning off or restarting the computer

Patrick, Middlesbrough , “UNCIVIL SERVANT, COMPUTER BUILDER ”

Score 9.0/10

+ RUNS IN BACKGROUND, AND ALLOWS CHECKS ON OTHER COMPUTERS IN MY NETWORK. EASY TO USE AND HAS BUILT IN CHECKING ON DOWLOADING FILES. HAVE USED MCAFEE FOR OVER 10 YEARS AND ONLY TWICE HAS IT FAILED ME IN A EMERGENCY.

- SOME TIMES IS TO AGGRESSIVE ON CERTAIN FILES. AND HAS TAKEN SOME MACRO'S AS TROJANS WHEN ARE NOT. I USE SOME KEY GEN PROGRAMS TO UNLOCK ZIP FILES WHICH PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN PASSWORDS. MCAFEE TAKES THEM FOR TROJANS.

Score 9.0/10

+ It has a friendly way of instructing you around itself, and guards your computer against viruses getting in, rather than waiting until you've got them then clearing them for you. Seems a much more effective system this way.

Ivan, prescot , “Not very easily pleased!”

Score 10.0/10

+ very quick to install, lots of extras i really didn't expect (defragmenter, quick clean disc cleaner and a function you can set up for a quick self scan or timed scan.) Exellent value for money at the time i purchaesd it.

- The only downside in my experience with McAfee was with me having a free month trial even though i had installed the product by disc, when my trial date had ended it kept on reminding me how long my trial had run out and asking me to purchase it.
