    Amazing anti-virus system. I have used Norton for the past 4 years before mcafee, and I didn't get quite the results I wanted. Tried AVG, Ad-aware, but still couldn't get as much protection as i do now from mcafee. The McAfee system covers almost everything (the full protection), even the internet. Well recommend McAfee VirusScan.

    I have had broadband for 1 year now, and I have tried a lot of other anti-virus software programs, and they don't come close. Even peer2peer, you just block it when you don't want to use it. I also play online games a lot, and I have never had any viruses. It is first class!!

    It is slow to boot up and it is slower for gaming, but it is worth it!!

    McAfee VirusScan Home Edition 8.0 & McAfee Personal Firewall Plus 5.0 Bundle is by far better than Norton, Bulldog, Panda, PC-Cillin and AVG. ...

    McAfee VirusScan Home Edition 8.0 & McAfee Personal Firewall Plus 5.0 Bundle includes on-access scans. Email on-delivery scans, unwanted program scans, Full disk scans and autoupdate. Although I'm not a believer of on-access scans which can be disabled it offers it all, email scan, scheduled full scan, download of latest signatures etc. Port blocking and Email on-delivery scans stops viruses at the doorstep.

    I use McAfee VirusScan Home Edition 8.0 Anti Virus Software and McAfee Personal Firewall Plus 5.0 on 10 machines of various versions of MS operating systems and have had good experiences all round. Have used Norton's and found it almost impossible to completely remove. McAfee support in Australia when I have needed it on the rare occasion has also been excellent.

    Installing the products went smoothly and no problems were encounted at this stage.

    You are required to reboot and then you are shown a user-friendly wizard providing easy step-by-step settings. That went fine and now to update.

    Users are required to signup to get updates. This of course is free and only took 5 minutes to do. After I verified my account, I started to download the updates. The first update was the McAfee Update module, which needed a reboot. Then after i updated again, Viru ...
