McAfee Questions in Security http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r15601025 en Sun, 29 Nov 2009 00:50:47 EDT Sun, 29 Nov 2009 00:50:47 EDT Re: McAfee Questions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15617820 ravencajun : I have used McAfee Antivirus and Antispyware for many years now and like it. I get the Antivirus free through my Verizon/Msn premium which is great. They also offer the free firewall but I prefer using my zonealarm pro.

The only problem I ever had with McAfee Antivirus was when I was downloading the new version and the download page kept shutting down. Took me a long long time to finally get it downloaded and installed. I read of others having the same problem during download so maybe they got that fixed by now.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15617820 Sun, 05 Mar 2006 14:27:31 EDT Re: McAfee Questions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15616207 rainchild : Well.. it depends on your surfing habits. I purchased for my laptop, but after finding out it needs activex controls to run. I decided not to use it. I installed it on my kids puter. Works well for them.

I have used many, this one works just fine for me. No problems]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15607485 Fri, 03 Mar 2006 21:43:07 EDT Re: McAfee Questions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15607449 StraitShoot : I'm using the Free Comcast Version of the WHOLE McAfee Suite! It replaced every AV and Firewall I used.. I LOVE IT! Great Detection and it's free!:D
Only on my Laptop I use TrendMicro Corporate... McAfee is much much better...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15607449 Fri, 03 Mar 2006 21:37:47 EDT Re: McAfee Questions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15604979 toadlife : We've been using the corporate version since 4.0. We're now at 8.0, which is the latest corporate version. It's worked great for us for years now. There may be differences between the corp. version and the home version though. Maybe the home version isn't as good?

I have been using McAfee for 4 years. Until they upgraded to version 10 I had no problems, but now I wouldn't buy McAfee again if you paid me. It is a resource hog, it doesn't work properly and the customer service/tech help sucks.

If you want to get some idea of the problems look here

I really have 2 concerns/questions.

1. How does it "rank"?

2. Is it a resource hog?

Lastly, would you buy iy from the following website?
