- Bloated garbage, just like Norton...
My Samsung NC10 netbook came with this POS, and as soon as I removed it (which was a pain, you have to use both the Windows removal tool as well as go to Google, search for and download a specialized McAfee Removal program to get all the last remnants) the whole system ran a good 30-50% faster.That mirrors my experience with all McAfee and Norton products on my other computers and different computers I've used for work: bloat, bloat, bloat!And constant nagging to pay for upgrades, install endless ...

- Does What It's Supposed To
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.

- Disliked it
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 ...

- Just what you want in a virus program
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

- McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008
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?
