Consumer Feedbacks And Complaints

Actual Customer Feedback:

"McAfee is a well known brand for having quality products. This anti-virus program is does a great job detecting and removing viruses. The only thing that bothered me was their update process which was somewhat slow and tedious."
Actual user comment from Software.com

"...Instead of repackaging itself, McAfee should have pared down the system resources it uses, enhanced its firewallmore, tweaked last year's interface, and switched to a more streamlined download and installation process..."
Portion of actual user comment from Ciao.com

"...McAfee Virus scan Plus 2009 is an anti-virus software that is very powerful. It is scanning and cleaning my hard disk very fast and killing all computer virus remaining. I am the fanatic with McAfee, so I do not care about the words my friends who said that McAfee makes my computer become slower....

McAfee Virus scan Plus at 2009 easy to install. In addition to the easy install also easy to use. Although sometimes crashes often with another anti-virus software, but I am very satisfied with the performance..."
Portion of actual user comment from Ciao.com

"...The program is a resource HOG - my single 2.0 gig processor runs much slower than with McAfee 2008. This is the last McAfee I will ever use..."
Portion of actual user comment from Buy.com

"...I guess the old saying "you get what you pay for" is true. This software was inexpensive, but it really slowed my PC down..."
Portion of actual user comment from Reviews.Dell.com

"...This 2009 version was very easy, easy, easy to install. Immediately, I noticed that on every website listed (after a GOOGLE search), there were colored check marks indicating which sites were `safe' and which sites were `risky' to open. Holding your cursor over the checked mark gives you more detailed information. When you click on that marker, detailed information about that website appears. It is a very nice safeguard..."
Portion of actual user comment from Amazon.com

"...it works well for me and I am impressed by it. The installation was quite easy and I had no difficulties with the software after I installed it. Moreover, the updates from the Internet from Mondays through Fridays make me believe that McAfee is on top of things with this antivirus/security threat program..."
