Decent Software

Strengths:

various security programs under one umbrella

Weaknesses:

eats CPU and memory

Posted Dec 18, 2007 - Earlier, I used to be Mcafee fan however its no longer that great now. It is a high priced software with different security programs kept together. The goo part is that all those programs are under one umbrella and hence work in co-ordination without any conflict. Basic antivirus does its job. Alerts can be annoying sometimes. It does eat lots of CPU and memory and slows computer like anything while scanning. I now prefer Trend Micro products compared to McAfee.

Very good product

Strengths:

Wireless protection

Weaknesses:

None I can think of.

Posted Dec 15, 2007 - I had the Total Protection 2007 and was satisfied with it. I like the fact that it has wireless internet protection. There is no difficulties in installation and usage. And I feel I got enough protection. Scanning takes quite a while but I have tried Norton and it takes about the same time, if not longer. I got the 3-user bundle this time and my father (overseas) is able to download a version of a different language and use it under the same account. I\'m happy with this software.

An OK product

Strengths:

Internet installation; 3-user protection

Weaknesses:

Not free

Posted Dec 15, 2007 - I don't think that you need all the bells and whistles this program has to offer if you have an updated version of Windows (Vista or XP SP2) and practice good internet habits, but this isn't a bad solution of you feel like paying some money for piece of mind. The software will protect your computer, but how much more protection you get compared to installing a free antivirus program (such as AVG or Avast) is debatable.

Total Protection 2008

Strengths:

Well know name

Weaknesses:

Bloatware, although there is certainly worse out there

Posted Dec 14, 2007 - I think that the AVG line of products is simply superior. The basic antivirus is free and is competitive in terms of performance with all other offerings. And if you put down a small amount of money the comparable product is as good as Total Protection with less than half the bloat and for less than half the price. So basically neither an especially bad purchase nor an especially clever one.

McAfee Total Protection is good

Strengths:

Protects the system, automatic updates, easy disabling of features

Weaknesses:

Consumes memory. Slows computer startup

Posted Dec 13, 2007 - Though this slows down the start up of laptop, this product is easily the best. Automatic updates of the engine keeps your machine in good condition. The disabling and/or enabling of individual apps within the security center is easy and smooth. I find Site Advisor very useful too.. shows me the good and bad websites and I have not noticed any speed difference in Internet Explorer or Firefox after installing it. In short, great protection.. its true when they say its Total Protection.. I just hope the next updates consume less of memory ! but worth the money

Decent software, good virus protection

Strengths:

Detailed info about websites, good virus protection, runs well with Vista.

Weaknesses:

Installation can be troublesome if you have other virus software. Must remove those first.

Posted Dec 13, 2007 - The installation process allowed me to only install the features I wanted which was good so as not to use resources on unneeded processes. I did not install the firewall because I already have one. The installation required me to register the software and also allowed me to opt out of notification options to upgrade or purchase other software. Scanning can be a little slow but not terribly so. It works well with Vista and seems to provide good protection. Overall I would recommend this product.
