McAfee Virus scan 8.0 is as sharp as anti-virus software can be. It is 100% effective at detecting and it completes the task of scanning very quickly, and it does have a few ports of the PC blocked as well.


Bad Points

McAfee VirusScan Home Edition 8.0 does not include complete firewall protection

    I guess this review was written by McAffee themselves! How can this deserve a 10? I had a horrible experience with a virus McAfee failed to detect. It kept coming back clean. Eventually I double-checked with some on-line scanners and the NOD32 one was the only one that saw the virus (it was a new virus). I've changed to NOD32 and will stick with it.

    I found this review not helpful because I feel it was a biased comment. From my opinion the only good thing about McAfee was its BOX nothing else. I used this product before and it only gave me headaches.
    If you will let me choose between Norton and McAfee.. I'd rather choose the sluggish Norton than McAfee (that's how bad it is).

    There are many free antivirus software available that is way way better than McAfee (Avast, Avira). Check them out.
