Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
McAfee VirusScan Home Edition 8.0
Stop viruses and keep your PC safe with McAfee VirusScan! VirusScan is an easy-to-use antivirus solution that ensures your PC is protected from viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, and other malicious threats. VirusScan stops threats coming from email, instant messaging, Internet downloads, shared files, and more. It automatically cleans infected files before they can attack your system, and stops hostile activity that may indicate the presence of new threats attempting to spread. Whether you’re a new computer user, or an advanced professional, VirusScan provides ultimate protection with the added assurance of proven and tested detection technology.

Comprehensive protection. McAfee VirusScan detects and removes viruses, worms, Trojans, and spyware from inbound and outbound e-mail, instant message attachments, program files, shared files, and more.
Automatic file protection. VirusScan provides continuous protection and automatically scans for viruses when you save, modify, and access PC files and programs.
Reduces manual tasks. Computer users are bombarded by pop-ups, warnings, and reminders. VirusScan is designed to reduce the number of tasks that require your interaction; and it displays messages only when urgent security-related information is available for your PC.
Easy to use. VirusScan can be accessed directly from Windows Explorer so you can quickly scan files from the familiar Explorer screen. And, you can scan e-mail and folders directly from MS Outlook.
Reliable virus protection. Virus protection is updated automatically when you are connected to the Internet.
Advanced scanning options. VirusScan provides many advanced options including a quarantine feature for suspicious files, and an easy method for creating a rescue disk to clean boot sector infections.
Proactive security information. VirusScan integrates with McAfee Security Center to provide up-to-date security information during virus outbreaks.

McAfee Personal Firewall Plus 5.0
Protect yourself while online with the advanced security of McAfee Personal Firewall Plus. Easy-to-use, yet highly configurable, McAfee Personal Firewall Plus secures your PCs connection to the Internet whether you connect via DSL, cable modem or dial-up. With intrusion detection, color coded security alerts, customizable audible alerts, detailed logging, and an application scan for Internet enabled applications, McAfee Personal Firewall Plus gives you the power you need to control the communications into and out of your PC, ensuring that your online experience is as safe as it is enjoyable.

Identity Theft Prevention. Places an easy-to-use, always on-guard barrier between hackers and your hard drive, blocking access to sensitive files, financial records and personal data.
Immediate Alerts. Records potentially hostile Internet traffic, providing clear response options for each threat.
Intrusion Prevention. Intrusion Detection System (IDS) detects and prevents common attack types and other suspicious activity. Intrusion prevention monitors every inbound or outbound data packet for suspicious data transfers or transfer methods.
Enhanced Intelligent Application Handling. Denies outbound Internet access to malicious applications (spyware, trojans and remote-control agents) that might surreptitiously transmit personal data to hackers.
Enhanced Intrusion Tracing. Features easy-to-read graphical maps showing the source of hostile attacks and traffic worldwide.
Enhanced Summary Page. Shows most frequently blocked Internet and network traffic (in real time) along with a graph of port activity on your local computer.
Traffic Monitoring. Shows both incoming and outgoing data across your Internet connection plus the Internet bandwidth of certain applications. Also displays, in real time, IP addresses applications are connecting to.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Package, 11 May 2004
Upgraded to these 2 products a few months ago from previous editions of McAfee Viruscan(6) and McAfee Firewall(3).

Both installed easily(less than 10 minutes for both) with Firewall 5 detecting the previous version so you don't have to uninstall it(you DO have to uninstall previous versions of Viruscan).

Going by some of the previous reviews I was a bit afraid I would have big problems; I never had any!!! That may be because I use Windows XP, I'm not sure.

Both products work well, the settings are easy to modify and updates are frequent(for Viruscan they are almost daily).
This is a suitable package for someone who is on Broadband but isn't technically-minded enough to want to endlessly adjust their anti-virus and firewall settings; just install and let it do the job. All you have to do is apply the updates and do frequent scans of your hard drive.

The only negative perhaps is that downloading the updates can be a bit fiddly- what should take a few minutes can end up taking 10 or 15 but you do get them in the end.

I'm really glad I upgraded to this package; in the last month it has intercepted numerous viruses which came as e-mail attachments(Netsky variants,MyDoom variants, Trojans etc.)- I have never seen so many on the net at once.

All in all a very effective and good value package; I would recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well done McAfee, 21 Aug 2004
By A Customer
I've installed the McAfee VirusScan Home Edition 8.0 & McAfee Personal Firewall Plus 5.0 Bundle on 4 desktops and one laptop, all on a 11MBps wireless home network sharing a broadband connection and two printers:

PIII 500MHz 256MB 10GB Win XP Pro (Two)
Celeron 400MHz 128MB 6.4GB Win XP Pro
Celeron 1GHz 256MB 20GB Win XP Pro
Centrino 1.6GHz 512MB 60GB Win XP Pro

I installed VirusScan first, followed by the Personal Firewall Plus. The software installed effortlessly on all computers simply following the on screen instructions. The installation required several reboots when requested and then automatically downloaded updates.

The computers have continued automatically downloading updates when necessary and occasionally pop up warnings of viruses or Trojans. When this occurs one click is sufficient for dealing with the offending files.

After installing the firewall when applications first try to connect to the internet you have to give them permission before they can proceed. This produces unexpected warnings like 'McAfee doesn't recognise Microsoft Word' but this only appears on the first occasion.

File and printer sharing and remote desktop connections have been unaffected by the software. I chose the option to totally trust my network during setup.

Outlook seems a little slow downloading messages, but if you start a send and receive then minimise it and do something else this isn't really noticeable. If you're in a rush to download messages then it is annoying, but it is easy to turn off/on email scanning if you wish.

I'm happy with the software. It does what it should, with minimum hassle, and configuration is straight forward.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good idea, 7 Feb 2004
By A Customer
This has been for me an unuseable product. In my experience, on a totally clean system (Windows 2000 recently re-installed) it failed to start properly after a week's use. (There may have been conflicts with other software, but as I mentioned all possibilities to MacAfee support, and never got any kind of answer, that isn't, apparently, an excuse that even MacAfee is resorting to.) VirusScan would not automatically uninstall. Re-installation of Virusscan and Firewall Plus failed. Manual uninstall failed. Editing the registry failed. Editing the registry in safe mode failed. After a day -- yes, really--online with MacAfee support, with six -- yes, six -- chats with six different help staff, following their instructions to the letter and getting deeper and deeper into the bowels of the operating system, I can at least say I have cleared some of the junk, but many MacAfee files are still cluttering my registry, undeletably.
And I still can't re-install these MacAfee products.

I can only hope this detritus does not get in the way of the rival product I shall attempt to install tomorrow.

A quick search of Google suggests this is not in the least an atypical experience.
