Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Lacks Parental Controls
Was quite disappointed that the program lacked the ability for parental controls. It implies it has them; and you can lock out specific websites - who has time for that. Their tech support could not provide a real answer, only an automatated answer that was not helpful. I would not recommend it.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Verify Subscription is ridiculous
This software is extremely annoying...every other day it pops up a notice that you need to "verify subscription". Until you do, it disables your software. Half the time the "verify" doesn't work, or, if you've purchased the suite, you're treated to five notices in a row.

If you're in the middle of something, you're forced to stop what you're doing, connect to the internet, remember your password and log onto McAfee, where you're treated to a marketing page.

I am still prompted to register so that I can receive updates, however I receive an error message when I try to do so (probably because it's already registered). Needless to say, McAfee's support is horrible. Their online chat ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Safe surfing for life?
I bought this software as I was getting more and more worried about the threat of viruses infecting my home PC. My workplace has always used McAfee and I had always found it very easy to use and we have had no problems with viruses so far. So I invested in McAfee at home. After a few niggles installing the Virus Scan and the Firewall Plus I must say I am very pleased. The software runs quietly on my PC, only alerting me if anything suspicious happens and the Firewall blocks tens of events entering my PC ... Read More
