Incompatable with Spybot and Lavasoft AD-Aware,
By Rory (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008 (3 User Edition) (PC) (CD-ROM)
It's a hit and miss affair choosing internet protection, what one person says works for them doesnt always work for you.
Tried Norton AV in the past but it was a nightmare and I returned it to my local PC shop for a refund. Success with McAfee since 2004 although installing last years (2007) Internet Security suite was a total pain. As I plan to get an additional laptop this year it was cheaper to purchase the 2008 3 user version, it is also cheaper than getting a year of extra updates from McAfee. 2008 version installed very quickly has an identical interface with a couple of extra bells and whistles added. Overall McAfee seems to work quietly and efficiently in the background without hogging resources as I had found with Norton. The anti phishing filter seems to work: I found out the hard way last year when I switched it off for a period and got phished!! One downside with the 2007 and 2008 MIS versions is that there are incompatabilities with some third party anti spyware applications eg Ad- Aware and Spybot. McAfee Installation detected them and I was requested to remove them before continuing the installation. If you plan to install McAfee it might be quicker to uninstall such third party applications first. A list of them can be found on the McAfee support website but you have to hunt around to find it. Try searching the site for 'incompatible third party applications'

the best I could find,
By
This review is from: McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008 (3 User Edition) (PC) (CD-ROM)
I have been using McAfee for long time, got this new one, installed it, and to be honest did not find a big difference from the previous edition, even the interface is quite similar.
I have disabled McAfee's firewall because I had my own application, and the other features are quite useful as well. The good points about McAfee are: - very easy to set up and install. the default set-up and configurations are quite solid and you do not need to modify any of them if you are a beginner user. - McAfee is still a lot user friendly in terms of memory and CPU usage than other Security suites. I tried Norton, and my system was struggling. - I tried Bitdefender, which is also very strong and good, but had lots of trouble because it did not detect windows firewall, and it refused to shut down. -Mcafee's update is very frequent and useful and all automatically done, so you do not have to do anything. - system scan is good, of course it takes long time depending on your hard drive size, and what files you need to scan. - there is a feature that I found very useful, which is that McAfee blocks buffer overflows, and that is very good. this means that you do not have to restart your explorer and lose what you have been doing in case there is a buffer overload of opened applications. What I do not like is that you have to get used to a lot of warnings whenever an applicaiton tries to modify or do something. That is all good of course, and it is just at the beginning, as the programme will then learn what to do. This is a good solid security suite, never caused any trouble, and compatibility is never an issue with McAfee. Very easy to install, update and scan files with it. I would have liked a different interface from the previous edition, and would also like the idea of having downloadable DAT upates, which was a great thing McAfee had in the past, where you can update your virus signature database if you did not have internet. Now you have to have internet to be able to update, which is not very convinent for all people.

Dirty Tricks,
By
This review is from: McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008 (3 User Edition) (PC) (CD-ROM)
McAfee have recently introduced AUTOMATIC RENEWAL. It sounds harmless enough, but what that means is, without telling you first, or informing you via email, you are 'opted-in' to this new service, which debits your bank account for cover renewal well in advance.
Basically, they take money from your account without your permission or consent, using your card details they have on record. Not only that, but you can't cancel the automatic renewal service from your online McAfee account; no, you have to contact Customer Services to get it taken off. There are many people out there who's bank account will be tipped into an overdraft situation with this little McAfee trick, and the banks will then charge people for going overdrawn with their accounts, and all because McAfee think it's fine to take money from peoples accounts without permission, and opting them into something that should legally be agreed to first. Bottom line - McAfee gives great protection with it's software, but this latest stunt proves that they can act just as badly and dishonestly as the people online they are trying to protect you from. Shame on you, McAfee
