Summary: Does What It's Supposed To
Comment: I've never really been impressed by Virus Scanning software, and I guess I can say that still holds true.
Three user McAfee is easy to use but it's more for moms and grandparents and aunts and the like who may not be as net savvy to understand what not to trust before coming across it on your computer.
Integrates well with Windows XP. Recommended if you want to be cautious.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Disliked it
Comment: The installation process is not straightforward because it doesn't allow you to pick and choose which components you want to install because it comes with multiple features besides virus scan. There is no direct UNinstall from Windows Vista. The only way to uninstall the program is to download a custom uninstall program from the McAfee website. Unlike Norton, the virus scan kicks off even when you are actively using your computer. The interface was cumbersome because of the multiple products bundled together. Although McAfee antivirus may be good, I would not recommend VirusScan Plus with SiteAdvisor for those who use their computer all the time.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Just what you want in a virus program
Comment: Virus protection is a necessary evil in today's computers. So is spyware protection and firewall. This handles all of them. They can be "evil" because you have to make sure they don't interfere your other software or slow you computer to a crawl.
If you managed to wade through the lengthy product description, you saw that it protects "Six ways".
Protects against:
Viruses
Spyware
Hackers
Bad internet sites
and it offers a "clutter" cleaner for your computer
as well the subscription service.
(In the past, I've paid for a registry cleaner alone for $30/year. )
With MS Vista, there seems to be less spyware,virus or firewall (security) worries, but nothing's guaranteed. This program comes with regular updates and gives you peace of mind.
It installed easily on our laptop using MS Vista. It works well. So far so good. We've been using it for weeks. It does scan everything you can think of to keep viruses out which means some slightly slower times, but alas, what else can we do? Go bare?
The best virus protection is not downloading anything suspicious, but if you have children or aren't always sure of your downloads (who is ALWAYS sure?) then you'll want a virus program with updates. And spyware slows down your computer so much--especially if you have Windows versions prior to MS Vista--so you really really want to get rid of it.
It can't protect us from losing data other ways (like hard drive crashes or lighting strikes), but it's a sound investment. No matter what you do, back up your important data to a portable HD or preferably, CD.

Summary: McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008
Comment: I just wish that I wouldn't get those annoying pop up's that continually remind me that "your computer is not fully protected". Of course my computer is protected, I bought this product! Anyway, everything works fine. Only other glitch would be when I bought this product it came with a "rebate" that I have yet to receive....hmmmm.... I've contacted McAfee and have been given a "number to call". Why advertise rebates if you end up having to jump through multiple hoops in order to receive them?
Customer Rating:
Summary: Highest value around
Comment: I bought the McAfee VirusScan 2008 one month ago,strong anti-virus program ,a little heavy on PC during the opening of some programs ,generally strong program & recommend .
