McAfee Virusscan Plus 2009

Advantages: security against virus, virus explosion
Disadvantages: nil

...This is one of the best anti-virus softwares in the market today. Say this with great confidence as I am the user for the last two months. The best part of it is the regular and effective set of updates made available to the users. This helps prevent even the latest form of viruses be detected and deleted. I have had the experience of virus attacks as I use the pen drives and the internet regularly to share files with friends. But McAfee has bailed me out of virus spreading every time I had one attacking my system. I can?t explain them all but my whole hearted thumbs up to McAfee for helping me keep the system safe and secured. While my friends who used other anti-virus softwares had to format their system to clean the virus I never had to because of the security I enjoyed and enjoy. After realising, my friends too have shifted to McAfee...

Safeguard your laptop or PC with McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009

Advantages: Rates sites as safe (green), potentially unsafe (yellow, and red) before you click on them
Disadvantages: Can only protect 1 PC

...When I bought my laptop it came with a 60-day trial version of McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009. Since I use limewire, my laptop is very vulnerable to malicious mp3 files that I download from the site. Good thing, I activated my trial version the very first time I used my laptop. Whenever I downloaded those malicious files that contain trojans, McAfee kicks it out right away. My husband used to use AVG free antivirus in his pc but he got dissatisfied with it so he decided to purchase McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009 3 User which cost a little bit more than the 1 user version. Also if you register your product online you get free updates for one year. McAfee does not only cover your PC, it also extends its protection to your printer and network connection. Whenever an intruder connects to your internet connection, McAfee prompts you. When...

McAfee - sounds like a sneeze or virus

Advantages: Easy Interface; Comprehensive Offering; Auto Updates
Disadvantages: Annual fee for new anti-virus signatures

...Apart from a curious name, this is a top rank anti-virus software suite for your PC. I have been using anti-virus software for more years than I can remember (old age does that) and have used most major ones. I have been using McAfee for the last 5 years or so over 3 different versions. Virus protection has become much more serious these days as we rely more on PCs and the internet and you *must* have some sort of anti-virus software on your PC. *TIP* never connect to the internet without this sort of software installed and active. Currently I protect my home PCs with this product (and we use the same vendor at work too). I do not use the firewall or spam products as I have other provision for these. What is a computer virus? ------------------------------------ For those still new to this .... a virus is (usually...

Review of McAfee VirusScan Home Edition 8.0 Complete package

McAfee Virusscan professional v7

Advantages: Easy to use,great support
Disadvantages: none so far

...Having used several anti virus programs over the last 3 to 4 years I decided to try McAfee as I had always had problems with the others. When I purchsed v7 a few months ago I found it to be very easy to install and set up. I ran well in the back ground, occasionally giving me a warning that an email atatchment might contain a virus. Updating the software on a regular basis couldnt be easier, the software automatically checks for updates when you are online or you can ask the program to check for these updates. If any are found it wil download and install them for you, what could be easier? A few days ago I did have a problem with the software ( it wouldn't update ) however McAfee have an excellent help system on thier website, if you cant find the answer to your problem there you can chat with one of thier technicians vie thier...

The real PACMAN McAfee clinic

Advantages: Cheap, very quick, easy to understand
Disadvantages: None yet

...I spend a lot of time on the Internet with my business, and it was therefore really frightening when I realised that I had somehow picked up the Wm32 Navidad virus (or something like that). This virus is nasty, it changes the way that the system associates .exe files and assigns a new one. Wintask does not look too bad if you like flowers and don't want to use your system. Thanks to Mcafee Clinic it has now been chomped - in fact it took less than three hours from discovery to resolution. First I had to use my back-up connection to World on-line to access Mcafee - the Aol connection having become contaminated - then run Virus scan. It picked it up straight away and then isolated it. At that stage I ran First Aid which changed the association remotely. Solution reached. I am now running McAfee Active Shield as part of my...

Today It is Better than McAfee and Pc-Cillin

Advantages: Free and simple interface
Disadvantages: The virus definition update does not work

...running slowly. I phoned my internet service provider (ISP) telling them the bad condition of their service. Then they told me that they need time to check and solve the problem. After 2 days, they phoned me informing me that my PC had been being infected by viruses! I got surprised to hear the news as I had McAfee Antivirus and PC-Cillin Antivirus installed on my PC. To ensure them, I always update my virus-definitions database from McAfee and PC-Cillin regularly. I did not believe their information. Then, in order to make sure about what they had told me, I visited my ISP office. In brief ? they showed me what was happenning on my office network via their monitor. "How to solve the problem? I asked them. They told me that they have ever faced the same problem. Then they tried to use AVG 6 ? the free edition from www...
