kolin2003's Review of McAfee Personal Firewall Plus 5.0

22nd Aug 2005

Overall Rating

3.5 stars
  • Value for money
    4 stars
Good Points

One of the best Firewalls on the market
Doesn't "overblock" harmless websites
Regular online updates


Bad Points

Slightly galling how they bill your credit card each year without even notifying you first


General Comments

I was a longtime Norton user for my internet security, but I switched to McAfee because a number of the online games that I played just wouldn't work with Norton unless I basically turned the firewall off. I wasn't willing to do that so I switched. Nothing nasty has gotten me yet (touch wood) so I assume that it is working well, and I have not yet lost usability on any website. The one thing that does bother me is McAfee's willingness just to charge your card each year without telling you. One day I will sell this PC, or leave the country and I just know I will forget to tell them and get gouged.
