Great Product, But the cost adds up,
I own this product, but purchased it directly from McAfee. I have used it for 2 years so far on three different computers at the same time. Also my company uses McAfee as their corporate standard for over 50,000 end users. I believe it to be solid and it has consistently worked well for me. My only problem has to do with the price… each year you have to pay again and each year the price goes up. It is almost always cheaper to re-purchase the product than to extend the license. Also, they give you 2GB of online storage for backups. My wife exceeded that and the only way to get more is to pay $59/year for unlimited storage. She only needs another couple GB of storage, and $60/year more is too much to ask for. But they have me trapped because my wife does not want more programs on her laptop and she is not technical. So I have to pay the price… per year, every year. So the bottom line is that this is a great product, but the cost will seem low at the beginning until you keep on paying more and more. Smart business model for them, bad for me. Highly recommend though.

Not very “Total” – it doesn’t protect against malware,
I’ve purchased and used this product for a few years without much problems until a few days ago when the “Privacy Protection” malware infected my wife’s computer. I THOUGHT I had “total protection” with this product so I simply downloaded the latest updates and ran a “deep scan”…only to discover it didn’t get rid of the problem.
I then went to MaAfee.com and drilled down to their technical support page. From there, I started a chat dialog with one of their technical support reps who confirmed that their software doesn’t protect against this problem. Instead, the tech rep suggest I purchase their “Virus Removal Service” for $89.95/year…so much for McAfee’s “total protection”.
I then downloaded the free version of Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware program from CNET which worked as advertised.
I don’t see the point of paying for something that doesn’t work as advertised when I can get a better product for free.

Seemed a bit resource heave on an older laptop…,
I’ve been updating an old laptop for my dad, and as the finishing touch I wanted to add some antivirus software. Decided to try out Mcafee 2012.
The interface looks a lot like Mcafee 2011. I’m still left wondering why, if we have little expandable/collapsible boxes on the main page with access to seemingly all the major features neatly organized, we need a ‘navigation’ button that takes us to an entirely different interface where there are seemingly just big lists of links to different program functions? Why can’t we just have a single interface and be done with it?
That said, once the program was installed, it seemed like the computer bogged down. A LOT. I just did a fresh install of XP + all service packs & updates, then installed a few programs, all clean. To be frank the system was pretty peppy. Once I installed Mcafee, it seemed like all the pep went away. It felt like the computer was constantly accessing the hard drive, windows were sluggish opening, etc. I think it has to do with Mcafee’s ‘real-time protection’ on-use. That is when your program opens a file Mcafee has to scan it for viruses, or some such thing. Well, in the long run that feels like it gets pretty intensive and possibly wasteful of CPU cycles and HD read/writes? Just a subjective opinion.
One other slightly glitchy note, when I plugged in a RCA Lyra MP3 player for the first time and it was recognizing the various USB drive drivers associated with the thing, Mcafee kept repeatedly popping up a message asking whether I wanted to scan the removable drive. I’d tell it no and didn’t check the ‘remember this action’ box because I didn’t want it to NEVER scan a removable drive, just not that particular one at that time. After the pop-up went away, about 3 seconds later another pop-up would come up asking me the EXACT SAME QUESTION. This got REALLY annoying, since I was trying to get some work done and trying to copy a bunch of files from the drive to the computer. I’m all for proactive, but asking me the same thing 6+ times for the SAME piece of hardware seemed excessive…
I’m going to try another piece of software and see if it’s any less resource-intensive. Maybe they’re all that way these days? I don’t know. All I know is that after installing it, the performance on this cleanly installed machine went from ‘peppy’ to ‘couch potato.’
Perhaps it works better on newer machines with Win7, a billion processor cores to burn and 8GB of DDR3 memory. Single-threaded P4, with 512GB DDR1, not so much?
