McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009 1-User Reviews
Support (in India) took 30 minutes of my time. I will not buy Mcafee again. Services S _ ck's. Waisted 30 minutes of my day and then told me for $89.00 I could have access to Tech support. I bought this to remove a Virus and it won't work. Made me installed it on another Virus free PC so they could get the registration.
I would not buy this product again. I recently bought and installed this product.Worked OK.After a few days I started getting a message that my computor wasn't fully protected and that I needed to register the product.Fine.To date I haven't managed to register the product.A pop up registration window doesn't function.E mails to McAfee have been a waste of time.They are fixated on an Anti virus program I have installed on a notebook computor.
Searched the box and the web site for warnings about this infuriating update process, no mention anywhere. Now when you do so, you loose all previously installed McAfee applications (like backup/restore in my case) which you have legally purchased before. Bottom line - Stay away from this product. Called customer service. Then suddenly the McAfee Security Center prompts me to renew my licence, telling me my subscription has expired. The registration program rightfully detected I already have an account and updated my account information. So now I have to remove all McAfee programs from my computer, download a special exe file and run it to clean their own mess, just to re-install all again.
Needless to say the McAfee installation program never asked me to un-install anything. I was thrilled. I bought this product to update my 2008 McAfee security center. Installation went flawlessly and then I was prompted to register the product. They will not be reinstalled with the new bundle. They told me I MUST un-install my previous McAfee Security Center using a special exe file I need to download from their web site(.).
That is the most important stuff, but there are about a dozen more accessories you can use to protect and optimize your computer. Red means `don't even think about going there unless you are willing to gamble'. I had previously used "Windows Live One Care" with no problems, but it is not even listed in the "top ten" of anti-virus protection. I do suggest you schedule your tasks for the middle of the night, as when McAfee was running in the background, everything slowed down significantly. Holding your cursor over the checked mark gives you more detailed information. Norton was placed second best, but I heard too many horror stories. 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. The TASK SCHEDULER allows you to create Windows scheduled tasks that clean your computer routinely. You can also DEFRAGMENT your hard drive whenever you want to speed up your computer. Some of the basics are: Virus protection (which updates itself), Spyware protection, Firewall protection, Email protection for virus and spyware and lots of other things I have yet to really explore.
There is the QUICKCLEAN, which removes your Internet cache, temporary files, lost fragment files, old registry keys, deleted Email messages and other non-essential files that take up space. Not only did I check with Consumer Reports, but I called family and friends before I bought McAfee. If you have more than one computer, you might want to check out the "3-User" version to save money. McAfee actually checked all these sites BEFORE they made this program. Obviously, green means the site has been RESEARCHED by McAfee and is okay.
When you click on that marker, detailed information about that website appears. The menu box gives you your own opportunity to perform specific tasks. It is a very nice safeguard.
Yellow means it is a site that McAfee has yet to research.
