 - You can trust it!McAfee is one of the two American companies I know of. Norton is the other. About the software, great protection at a great price. Slow start up that I can deal with to know I'm protected. Rating:  - saved for laterfound it was incompatable with my current AVG Anti-virus software. keeping it to use in my other computer which uses McAfee that will go out of date soon. like McAfee-its fast, stays in the background and catches the problem right away-It's better than Norton! Rating:  - Norton's BetterMcAfee Virus Scan isn't really free with purchase because the catch is that it is only free for the first 60 days. After that, you need to pay to get the service for a year of updates. What gives? If I pay for something shouldn't it be free after that? Stick with Norton you'll be happier. Rating:  - An improvement over previous versionI should start by mentioning that I have never really liked McAfee's software. It has, in the past, tended to be bloatware, much like Norton's products: unnecessarily large (in terms of memory usage), too intrusive, etc. This version might change my mind, though I would add that I am not planning on giving up my Kaspersky Internet Security Suite anytime soon- it's too good. Installation of McAfee VirusScan Plus went well, it installed quickly and cleanly. The software itself is generally intuitive and elegantly designed. Now I am not a virus lab, and did not run controlled tests to see how many viruses this software caught, but McAfee has generally had a good reputation in that department. The 24/7 live update of virus definitions is great, though I suspect this feature is or should be standard on all virus/security suites. I also like the ability to install this on 3 computers- many of us have more than one PC, and this makes sense. Overall I recommend this antivirus as one of the best McAfee products in a while. Personally, I prefer the aforementioned Kaspersky software as an all-in-one solution (Firewall, Antivirus, Antispyware, etc), but for those looking for only a antivirus, give McAfee a whirl. Rating: - You can't beat the price after rebate!!I have been using Norton on all my machines, however am open to change. The software was easy to install and seems to move quickly on my machine. It certainly does perform as advertised thusfar, and doesn't seem to slow my machine down. I am using it with Vista. You just can't be without antivirus protection these days, and for the money(even full price), this is a nice product.
