Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Don't even try it on a mini PC
I have been using this on an acer aspire one and it pretty much cripples the machine if a scan is running.Internet activity is slowed down to a crawl if an update is in progress but other functions seem to be left unhindered.File searches and Microsoft Office seem to work while you are waiting for your webpage to refresh. I also notice an interesting amount of disk thrashing when the auto scan processes multiple files even after the scan has been completed no telling what it is doing in the background. ... Read More

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Waste of Money and Time
You couldn't pay me to use this software.I've been a computer engineer for over 30 years and use to love McAfee back in the DOS days.Their program is slow and bloated, which translates into slowing you and your computer down.If it's alright, I'd like to say that I now use Sophos and it has zero impact on our computers.I manage over 5000 computers from very fast to extremely slow (Intel P3's -- we're a school and can't afford all new computers).Sophos seems to have zero impact on performance even on ...

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Uses its alert function to display spam.
This product is partially effective -- it seems to work well as an antivirus software but its spyware removal function is far from perfect. You will find that other anti-spyware programs are much more effective at removing spyware.

What I find most annoying about this product is that is uses its alert function (which should be used to display information about viruses, etc.) to display spam messages, such as: "Renew McAfee ahead of time and save 50%!"

I find it somewhat ironic that a ... Read More

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not recommended!
Like many others this program came preinstall on my labtop, and I got a year free, then continued to pay for the service.It was a huge mistake.First off, whenever McAfee is installing an update, it will freeze my computer, and I am unable to access any programs.The rare times when the updates (which take forever to download) do occur without freezing my computer, my CPU usage goes through the roof.Every program is nearly paralyzed and sluggish.To make matters worse over the course of the last 18 months, ...

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Danger Wil Robinson!
It's been nothing but trouble. I have it on three systems: XP, Vista, and Vista64. It's not just a resource hog, it breaks regularly. Reinstalls also often fail. Called support when the trouble started on the XP machine. Big waste of my time. I took that machine offline.

On Vista64 automatic scans never went according to schedule, and recently manual scans started to fail. Just checked my wife's machine, and it's broken too. I hope her machine will be easier to fix than mine have been.
