Consumer Feedbacks And Complaints

Actual Customer Feedback:

"...The scanner detects 100% of the most common pests (www.wildlist.org) and offers all malware categories consistently high detection rates. Bedrohungen, die nicht in der Signaturdatenbank vorhanden sind, können entweder mit Hilfe einer Verhaltensanalyse als gefährlich eingestuft und geblockt werden. Threats that are not in the signature database, either by using a behavioral analysis as dangerous and blocked..."

"... McAfee Internet Secutiy 2009 does not protect against attack of well known trojan such as Vundo and Vundo.H. My PCs were infacted several times when McAfee was active. It is extremely difficult to completely get rid of this this Trojan. McAfee asks for additional charges to help to remove over and above your licence fees.This is not being helpful. I asked their customer services when you will a fix but I never got a sensible reply. No online support/article to help on their website how to remove such infection. I finally gave up..."

"...I find the GUI to be less appalling than Symantec products, but that does not affect the performance of the product and is just personal preference. Like most security suites, Mcafee provides antivirus, firewall and malware protection. No suite is going to be 100% percent perfect at protection, but I have not had any problems with viruses or malware slipping through while using this software. One plus is the system scans are relatively quick..."

"...it does what it claims to do, protects your computer from viruses. It also slows your computer down quite a bit. I'm surprised that McAfee hasn't improved much over the years to make their products less of a burden on the CPU. I wouldn't install this on a relatively old machine..."

"...this program is that some parts doesn't work as advertised and worst of all, this suite takes up a lot of precious computer resources (memory and CPU activity), so much so that I can actually notice a different in my startup times and when using other programs..."

"...The thing that bothered me the most was that it was very difficult to change any settings. None of the options are in any logical order in the menus, so you are going through menu after menu looking for settings. Also, if you change one setting to how you like it, McAfee will tell you that something is messed up and asks you if you want it to fix it, but it won't tell you at all what it thinks is messed up..."

"...My computer runs as it should and best of all, I'm not expected to be a computer nerd to make it work properly. It does what it's supposed to without asking me questions like "ZPTR has detected a malicious zapoid at qwrts. Would you like to defribulate this zapoid?" It runs quietly in the background, defribulating zapoids without expecting me to know what on earth that means. As long as that remains the case, I will stick with McAfee..."

"... It was quite easy to initially install & scan all that. But, I expected the software to get rid of all the bad things from my laptop during first few scans but it didn't. Probally got rid of 40% of them in first few scans. Then after few days the McAfeeDatabackup or similar software component started crashing & taking down my windows explorer as well. So every bootup I killed the McAfeeDatabackup from task manager & things were fine. After 2-3 weeks I guess my 95% of bad things from laptop are removed. But it takes little longer to startup my PC. I am happy that it removed most of malware, spyware, adware & Trojans albeit after 2-3 weeks of operation..."
