    It didn't install but did remove existing protection.
    Their help desk is next to useless and their customer service is so bad as to be laughable!
    I had to take time off work to deal with the problems McAfee caused.
    Whe ...

    I installed this McAfee VirusScan Home Edition 8.0 software and it gave me a virus!! I called the tech support and they said they would fix it for either $69.95 or $89.95 depending on which option I wanted.

    McAfee VirusScan Home Edition 8.0 used to be OK, but the last year has been a nightmare, I have spent hours reinstalling perhaps a dozen times.

    McAfee VirusScan Home Edition 8.0 is as sharp as anti-virus software can be. It is 100% effective at detecting and it completes the task of scanning detecting very quickly, and it does block 6 ports of the PC as well.
