So SLOW! [Posted on 2008-07-07]
My computer was running fine and my husband installed McAfee. I can't even use my computer now. I might as well be back on AOL dial up and 266 with 4 mb of memory. It found some virus's and spyware but my computer was running fine with those on there. It wasn't until McAfee that my computer became unusable.

Worry-free installation [Posted on 2008-07-20]
I switched from Norton to McAfee three years ago and I've been happy with my decision ever since. The latest version of McAfee Internet Security Suite with Site Advisor installed quickly and easily.

When surfing the web it lets you know which sites are safe and which are suspicious. If it hasn't inspected the site it also lets you know that so that you can decide whether or not to enter it. I trust this product completely, and highly recommend it.

Could have been better. [Posted on 2008-07-22]
Got this from Amazon Vine and decided to install it on my laptop which runs with Windows Vista. My computer was running fine before I installed it now it's going really slow. I'm not entirely sure if it's the software but it did run fine before it was installed. It does seem however to protect rather well. I had AVG installed before and to me they're both comparable when it comes to protecting your computer. Updates are only provided daily so if you're looking for something with a bit more then this is not for you. To uninstall you'll need to go to your computer's unistall programs in your control panel to take it off your computer. For $50 it's not a bad buy but I think it could have been better.

It even works at the bottom of the system level requirements [Posted on 2008-07-23]
I first used McAfee Virus Scan Plus 2008-3 User 6 in 1 product and wrote a review on it. I was totally impressed using it on my Windows XP machines. This McAfee Internet Security Suite 10 in 1, states that it works on a Pentium 300, so I decided to use it on my AMD K6-2 500 with 512 megs of ram running Windows 2000 Pro SP4. I removed the free edition AVG antivirus, as well as Zone Alarms free firewall first. I have never met an anti-virus that will work with another antivirus already installed. With my XP machines it only increased boot up time by 30 seconds, but on the older AMD-K6-2 500 it added 2 minutes. (1 minute 20 seconds without any antivirus, 3 minutes 20 seconds with) So the limited processing power was affected in boot up time. On my XP machine that has a barebones list of programs, it boots in only 42 seconds +30.
When installing be sure and take the option of downloading the latest version from the net and install it; total size 57 Megs.
The security suite includes> Security center, Virus scan, Personal firewall, Privacy service, Anti-spam, Data backup, Easy Network, Site Advisor, and OEM support.
With my XP machines the program works seamlessly, and you wouldn't even know there is an update, or scan going on in the background. With the AMD K6-2 it takes a toll on limited resources and slows the machine down. Does it slow it to a crawl, no, but it does add a second or two to changing screens. Sorry for mentioning the obvious but I thought those with an older machine would be interested in knowing whether it would be effective for them.
I am keeping the McAfee installed because I prefer the results to the AVG free edition antivirus, and Zone Alarms firewall. ZA running their older version 6.5 would work in W2000, but their nagging upload screen, if clicked on, downloads a 7+ version that brought about a blue screen until I booted in safe mode and removed it. AVG updates on every boot, and totally dominates the machine until it is done, whereas McAfee allows you to immediately start to work while it is updating. So pulling it all together under the McAfee umbrella is a nice way to go. I gave it 4 stars because it does slow the machine down a little, but that is to be expected from a machine with such limited capacity.

Love It! [Posted on 2008-07-23]
I have been very pleased with this product. It was very easy to install and set up. I have not noticed any performance issues and appear to be virus free. It's nice to have the 3 user licenses as well. I was a somewhat unsatisfied Norton user (Internet Security was not user friendly and I usually had to turn off the firewall to get internet access). Great price, great product. I would buy again. I completely recommend this item.
