Back to VirusScan 2006 10.0
  • Overall Rating
    4 stars 4 Star Review
    Reviewed by: mm100

    Updated:03-16-07

    Duration of ownership:3 Weeks

    Strengths: No problems installing. Not too slow starting up. Reliable virus scan company.

    Weaknesses:

    Overall Evaluation: Had McAfee last year and was happy. Then they renewed me for $40. Too expensive. I found this from a PriceGrabber storefront for $10. You would think McAfee would come down on their price to keep a customer, but nope. Anyway, good virus scan product.

    Duration of ownership:4 Weeks

    Strengths: Cheap, one year updates.

    Weaknesses: Freezes my system. Reports worms that don't exist on Email sending of worksheet, but can verify or find these worms on scan.

    Overall Evaluation: Very Cumbersome. Hogs a lot of memory and computing capcity. A disappointment compared with Norton. Have Norton Works on my system, and have trouble fully disabling Norton Virus and still keep rest of Works.

    Duration of ownership:2 Months

    Strengths: Best anti-virus product available with the least problems and hassles. You can just forget about it once it's installed.

    Weaknesses: Install requires 3 or 4 system re-boots. After than, you're OK.

    Overall Evaluation: Been using McAfee anti-virus products for years. Wouldn't consider anything else for virus detection and fixing. With the auto-updating, both the software and the virus list take care of themselves.

    Duration of ownership:4 Days

    Strengths: Easy installation, Found numerous Trojans on my system

    Weaknesses: First scan took over 45 minutes. You only get one year of updates with purchase - this applies to the retail box version also.

    Overall Evaluation: As usual, Mcafee comes out with a great product. There is no difference between the OEM version and the retail box version - other than $32.00 price difference. This is my third year using VirusScan and I have yet to have any problems with Mcafee conflicting with other software on my system.
