Customer Reviews

Great product
This is my fourth year in a row using McAfee's total protection program and they are great. I've never gotten a virus on my computer and the one time I needed assistance, they walked me right through the fix.

Comprehensive, almost overbroad protection for your PC
McAfee's Total Protection 2008 boasts a lot of protection its protection package. Loaded with all sorts of features and a redesigned Security Center, the breadth of protection seems relatively effortless! Thankfully, it does so without bogging down your system. Yet it doesn't do it without some cost, however minimal it may be.

The Good: This is a great Antivirus program. It will scan your system to almost any depth and your e-mail to almost any degree. The default scan is wide in its breadth as well. In terms of *prevention*, it is even better at keeping things off of your system. [...] Anti-spyware notification is also significantly improved from the previous McAfee suites. Your normal activity on your computer will not be interrupted CONSTANTLY, like some of the security programs do. SiteAdvisor is actually a really great and will look through all your mail / IMs and will check bad links against the blacklist. Anti-spam is exceedingly effective, even though it will sometimes take your newsletters and throw them in the spam folder.

The bad: No wireless network security! Things that can get transferred on a large network (read: Universities) can get through with relative ease. When something is notified in the System Guard, it doesn't say anything detailed at all! While some people won't care about that, I, for one, definitely want to know. The firewall's default is too loose, which allows dangerous sites to be accepted without any notice. Customer service is pitiful. Parental controls don't necessarily "work."

While boasting tons of features, the minor flaws keep this from being a top flight program. However, for most casual users in a simple network looking for some degree of security, the vast amount of internal programs can keep your system relatively clean with little clutter and invasiveness. I do use this program and find it efficient for my needs, and on that, I recommend it. The benefits outweigh the concerns, and the breadth of protection is unparalleled.

Legal(?) Credit Card Thieves
Be aware that McAfee has what it states is "McAfee Always On Protection" program. Basically what this does is set you up unknowningly for an auto-renewal when your current virus definition subscription expires. I just received a "receipt" from McAfee. It stated that they used "payment information on file" for a $76.29 charge to my credit card which was NOT AUTHORIZED BY ME!!!! This means that they keep their customer's credit card information "on file". I would stay far, far away from *anything* that says McAfee on it. I've already called VISA but they can only stop future charges!!!....I have to deal with McAfee first!!!

Again....run as fast as you can away from McAfee products!!!!!!!!!

You've been warned!!!!!!!!!!!
