Chris, Near Stafford , “Computer literate 64 yearold”
Score 10.0/10+ Excellent protection and other useful features to help maintain computer in good operating condition
- Installation - whilst the installer picks up other anti virus/spyware programs that cause conflict and require deletion (generally sraightforward) I found it necessary to completely uninstall previous version of McAfee which involved downloading the uninstaller from the McAfee site. I had seen reference to this requirement from someone else - easy if you know what you are doing and does not take long..

Score 10.0/10+ easy to install, was recommened to get this product from people i know. dont have viruses anymore and my laptop still runs very fast as some virus wear can cause laptops to run slower. this one always updates aswell. very good! can use it on more than one pc , so good value for money.
- was quite expensive but if it protects my "new" laptop from getting viruses and messing up i dont mind.

Irritating pop-ups from McAfee.
Sometimes restarts after updates without warning.

Score 7.0/10+ Easy to use - international brand
- Failure to recognise 2nd PC installation. Still keeps prompting me to 'Activate my subscription' though there's no obvious way to do this. Verifying your subscrpition works fine but it doesn't clear the fault.

It does what it says on the box.
One of those programs you start and then forget, it just does it's job in the background.
It is easy to add other licences.
- I have tried others but none are as good as this one.

Installation does not always work first time.
Have to ensuire that you don't click on autorenew when the license runs out or you will be charged full MRP, the product is often sold much cheaper than the MRP

- At this moment in time the McAfee product just will not load on my computer. When it does load it makes everything much slower (like a tortoise!!). I have tried going to the McAfee removal tool but as yet no success has been made. I wish I had bought another product.
