McAfee Total Protection 2007

Great software

Posted Oct 4, 2007 - After trying several security programs I finally settled down on McAfee. The installation is easy all it's features works well.It is vista compatible Works great for Vista.This product can be customized completely. It can be set to find and install updates automatically.I'm very pleased with the thoroughness of the protection it offers and the customization capabilities. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone whose system meets its minimum requirements.

More than total protection- smooth, unobtrusive, easy to use protection.

Posted Aug 30, 2007 - I finally joined the real world and got high speed internet, so I was in need of some firewall protection. I initially tried CA eTrust security suite. It was a total disaster- it ran for a while, but then tried to upgrade itself- resulting first in multiple instances of the blue screen of death, and finally in contacting CA customer support, doing an additional download, which resulted in a registry error which stopped the hard drive from loading Windows. But wait, this is a review of McAfee Total protection 2007 you say! Why are you regailing me with your tale of woe from CA eTrust? The answer is simple- I've had zero problems from McAfee. You can leave it alone to do its thing, or you can go in and make changes and the software works without complaint. To be fair, I have not used Norton, so it may be great as well.

McAfee not up to par in my book

Posted Mar 18, 2007 - I have an Acer 9500. I installed Vista Ultimate, which is not compatible with lots of the previous applications that XP used. When prompted for an antivirus application to protect the system after Vista install, McAfee was one of the recommendations by Microsoft. What a huge mistake I made. I installed the so called, "Total Protection 2007" and it crashed my system. At first, it caused the system to drag. Then it got slower and slower to the point the system actually come to a halt. I cannot believe McAfee released this crap before they did a QA. Shame on McAfee for selling crap. Now, about the scoring. Is there anything less than a "1"? If so, I'd like to chose that number.

McAfee just does not work, it failed me

Posted 1 year ago - After years using Norton without problems I changed to McAfee for 2008.All had been well for 2 months until my computer somehow became infected seriously with adware, malware, spyware.It became so bad that I was virtually unable to use the computer. My McAfee software despite being up to date did not protect me. I had to download a spyware and an adware programme to remove 100+ infections, quite a few maked as critical probles. Even this did not comletely cure the problem with VUNDO infections still present and i have to download a specific tool to remove these. What is the use of stotal security software if it does not work. I am returning to NORTON

Thank you for the valuable feedback!

Total Protection 2007

Posted 1 year ago - If you spend a lot of time online, you will benefit protection and security provided by this software. Installation is easy with simple to follow instructions. However, this software seems to consume a lot of system resources. It also slows down the startup process of the computer. But, I guess it is just doing its job protecting the computer.

Total Protection 2007 (Full Product)

Posted 1 year ago - I've used a great deal of security software over the years, and as far as commercial products go, I like Mcafee the best, and this latest Total Protection suite strengthens their position. While it can be a bit obtrusive, at least you know it is actively working to protect your machine.

Looks good, but doesn't act that way

Posted Dec 28, 2007 - As the name "Total Protection" implies, this program covers everything. Looks like it makes the machine pretty secure, too. Of course, total protection comes with a price... like the old sci-fi story "With Folded Hands", McAfee appears to be trying to protect me from myself. McAfee slows down applications significantly, blocks wireless Internet by default, blocks me from viewing my network. Thanks, but no thanks, McAfee. Maybe if I didn't actually have to use my computer.

Total Protection 2007

Posted Oct 21, 2007 - Total Protection 2007 is all-in-one solution, and considering all the elements included in the pacage I can't complain about the price. It offers all the security features I need, and even those I don't think I need as well(like spam protection). One thing that makes me hesitate to give five stars is that when I turn on all the elements, it occupies too much resources of my system. When I turn off couple of them, it gets better, but still the system slows down. Other than this I'm satisfied with it.

McAfee Total Protection 2007

Posted Oct 2, 2007 - I really like this software. It's provide a full protection for your computer (virus, spyware,...). It's really easy to install and use. It take up some RAM from your computer so make sure the computer has enough memory. Other than that, the software is really good for personal use (home or small business). Highly recomended.

Mcafee Total Protection 2007

Posted Sep 30, 2007 - One of the best Mcafee security softwares that offer worry free PC protection. Price is a little high though, and takes a lot of resources to run, wish the performance could be better.

Would not buy again

Posted Sep 28, 2007 - McAfee total protection needs to be thoroughly reviewed by the company to ensure that the product is fit for purpose. At the moment, Total Protection is simply a very expensive piece of software prop! I was not impressed the pop ups during loading and now my computer seems to be at a crawl, who wants that?? Stay away from this until they get their kinks worked out.

total protection

Posted Sep 27, 2007 - I just bought this one yesterday and was fairly satisfied with the results so far. It;s very easy to install. I had no problem loading it on the laptop that i just bought same day at staples and it seemed to run smoothly. I noticed a little bit of lag in my computer's performance,maybe because i have window vista but not horrible. It is a complete security package and for a one computer home, it would be sufficient

good software

Posted Sep 26, 2007 - The software seems really robust and appears to work really well. The download takes quite a bit of time, and does seem to slow down the computer a lot. But it does seem reliable and seems to work really well and protects the computer from any threats or changes.
