Customer Reviews:

McAffee is infuriating [Posted on 2007-09-11]
I have used McAfee virus-scan for years.

I am extremely irritated by them from time to time. Their program causes pop-up adds to periodically appear from my task-bar telling me that I can buy all sorts of upgrades and add-ons to their virusscan program for only $29.99. The pop ups ARE NOT browser windows. They come from the virusscan program itself. I do not want my computer to become an advertizing agent for them! Furthermore, I would like to be able to give powerpoint presentations to large audiences without having the pop-ups interrupting my talk.

I have not been able to stop these pop-ups, and it pisses me off every time it happens. I just went to their customer support page, and they won't talk to me about this issue unless I pay them.

From Norton to McAffe [Posted on 2007-09-14]
I have been a user of Norton for at least 10 years. However, when I got my new Vista desktop, I couldn't get my Norton Internet Security to work with Vista, despite long support sessions with Norton.
I then came across a free copy McAffee VirusScan Plus 2007, so I thought I'd try it. Well, I must say I am now a McAffee fan. It works great with Vista and is very user friendly. I now will be protecting my Vista machine with McAffee going forward. I highly recommend this product.

Rotten [Posted on 2007-09-20]
This came installed on my new computer. I have been a Norton user for years but since McAfee was pre-installed I decided to go with it. What a mistake. It was the most slow and annoying thing I have ever encountered, filling my screen with ludicrus messages, pop-up and advertisements. It caused the broadband to act like dial up. It was so annoying that I removed the program and switched back to Norton (which isn't all that great but I'm used to it). Spyware and adware and viruses cause the computer to slow down, fill up with pop-ups and install unwanted garbage all over your computer. I can honestly say that McAfee was worse than having malware.

Do Not Buy It!!! [Posted on 2007-10-21]
Save yourself and do not buy this product.

I have had nothing but problems from the start. It says that I am not protected and when I click the fix button is says "One ore more problems require my response". Click Ok and nothing happens. Nowhere can I find what those problems might be. I have tried to uninstall and I get errors. I try to reinstall and nothing.

McAfee's support is totally useless. I have opened two trouble tickets which their websites says they will respond usually within 12 hours. Two days later and still no response. Also the live chat with the support staff requires you to download another program and once installed all I get is "staff is busy try again later"

I should have checked the comments before buying McAfee!

AVG anti-virus is Free, why pay money... [Posted on 2008-03-10]
Folks I used Norton system works a couple of years ago, then I decided to switch to this McAfee stuff only to hate its anoying bell rings and some other things etc. Then somebody on a online chat room told me about AVG anti virus and the anti-virus is free to download and stays updated. If you think about it all you really need is the anti-virus, microsoft has you cover with a firewall and most spyware blocker tools, so all you really need is the anti-virus. Its been several months and I have had no virus, NONE, no problems NONE at all. Hands down, AVG anti virus has been the best thing that has ever happen to me, it doesnt bother you and it does the job extremly well and it updates when needed. And the best part, IT FREE... :D
