    5.0 out of 5 stars Hackers Beware, 27 Nov 2004
    This review is from: McAfee Internet Security 2005 (CD-ROM)
    This has it all. A privacy service so no hackers(scum of the internet) may access your computer. A virus scan which can delete all virus known to man and computer. Regular updates; it also has a helpfull site if you get stuck on how to delete certain trojans and viruses.Oh and a spam killer which is great so when I enter my email account im not plastered with 300 nuissance emails. It automatically picks up suspicious activity though it is recommened to Virus scan at least once a week which normally takes about 20 minutes. Im no whizz kid and I find the software very logical and easy to use. In my past experience with computers if you dont have a service like this you have problems and your computer dies on you after about 3 years.Not being biased but I'd say this is about 3x better than Norton's Software due to it always saying your files are corrupt and you must install it again. Mcafee allows you simple to delete infected files and get on with your buissness, I cant comment on whether it is value for money due to the fact I recieved this software free with my computer but I would recommened you get it. I know how stressfull computers are and how much repairs cost this makes it stress free and priceless.

    4.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good...., 31 Jan 2005
    By O. Southwood "owensouthwood" (UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: McAfee Internet Security 2005 (CD-ROM)
    I don't understand the review which claimed it doesn't work with XP SP2. That is exactly what I've got and I havent found any problems with it.

    The security control panel interface is a good, central, easy to use peice of software. On my PC I havent noticed any real slowdown since installing, but... time will tell.

    The spam killing facilities are comprehensive, if a little over-zelous on their default settings. Within days I was loosing legitimate incoming emails which it thought were spam. But luckily these settings are easily fixed: It's just a shame the default config is too harsh.

    One major niggle about this package: It has something called "privacy service" (something to do with shredding internet history files?) which requires you to "Sign In" EVERY time you start your PC and EVERY time you access the internet. This becomes VERY annoying soon after installing. Imagine: You have to type a password everytime you access the web or start up your PC! Argh!

    And this "privacy service" cannot be disabled unless it's already running! You cannot prevent it from starting! This alone is was almost enough to make me regret my decision to use McAffee... until I realised you can solve the problem by setting the Administrator to be "Startup User". Again, the default settings are too harsh.

    Also it seems difficult to simply "switch off" the individual components (anti virus, spam killer etc) so they don't start up when you boot up the pc. Although you can stop them after they've started.

    Buy the product, but be aware that default security settings will likely prove annoying and will need changing as soon as you've installed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars McAfee for Me, 19 Mar 2005
    This review is from: McAfee Internet Security 2005 (CD-ROM)
    Internet security is an absolute must and some suites are better than others. In my books McAfee is the best out there, here's why. It's easy to install, some internet security programs expect you to spend half hour making alterations to the various settings, McAfee automatically configures. The security centre is well designed and clearly labelled, so if changes are necessary you don't have to have a PhD in computing. It doesn't hog your computers resources, Norton 2004 slowed my computer down by about 25%, and it was amazing how fast the system ran when I changed over to McAfee; it even works fast on the laptop. If you do need to uninstall the program, unlike Norton you can easily get rid of it. If the above reasons are not enough, then take a look at the price, its £14 cheaper than Norton. Great price, works well and is hassle free. Keep it up McAfee and I will back for more in 2006!!
