Product Description

At McAfee, we focus on one thing: keeping your digital life safe, so that you can surf, shop, and socialize online with confidence. McAfee parental controls allow you to set rules based on age, categories, and your preferences so your kids can use the internet safely.

Updated 2012 Functions

McAfee Internet Security 2012 – Functions
The easy-to-use interface offers the highest level of operating comfort with just one click.

Most advanced botnet software blocks your PC’s attempts to connect to web addresses which are dubious. This extra defence helps prevent your computer from sending out your personal information to internet crime networks - so that your personal computer stays "personal".

As an integral part of the comprehensive suite, we provide ironclad protection for your data - regardless of where it resides. All your portable storage devices are scanned and malicious viruses, Trojans, and worms are blocked before they can wriggle into your PC and your network.

If your computer is already infected, McAfee Total Protection now offers a pre-installation scan to help you remove existing infections as our software installs.

When you need to know what is happening online, the surfing report shows login times and attempts to access forbidden sites. You can also see who is online when. Additional features include revitalised parental controls.

Now you can safely and easily share interesting and entertaining content with your social networks, providing web links that your friends can click with confidence. If your link becomes risky before they click, your friends will be warned and protected.

Make your updates and tweets short, sweet, and safe with our new integrated URL shortening service. You can embed brief, trustworthy URLs that spread the news without spam or malware.

Unused applications, cached browser files, and other junk slow down your PC. McAfee QuickClean™ software removes the clutter so your computer can keep up with your digital life.

This innovative software is now available with the revolutionary Active Protection™ Technology which offers instant protection from threats on your PC. A new threat can be analysed and blocked in milliseconds - anytime, anywhere.

With continuous and automatic updates, McAfee Network Monitor secures your home network, warning you of unsafe connections. The two-way firewall recognises any unfamiliar device and warns you when it tries to connect to your home network.

Colour-coded icons next to your search results let you know before you click which sites are safe and which may install malicious code, phish for your identity, or send you spam. McAfee SiteAdvisor® LIVE prevents you from clicking on malicious websites in your browser, emails and Instant Messenger.

Additional features include McAfee anti-spam filters to constantly protect you from this shady side of the internet.

For reasons known only to McAfee their pricing for annual renewal is almost twice the price you can buy the brand new product for. So I buy a new copy every year from Amazon. Stupid or what?

Other's on here have mentioned problems. For about 3 days after it was first loaded it took along time to load updates, but that sorted itself out and now everything works. Easy to install and register, no problems with this product.

Do you like dealing with Indian Helpdesks?
Do you like hanging on the phone for hours getting nowhere?
Do you like dealing with people who make it as difficult as possible to resolve problems in a simple time-efficient manner?
Then this is the product for you!

4 times on desktop and for their mobile app, I have been unable to register the product from trial to purchased status. Each time it has taken days and cost me a lot of telephone time to resolve; talking to people who quite frankly don't deserve our custom.

Anyone noticed that Mcafee's market share of personal users is shrinking?

Having installed McAfee Total Protection 2012, I've had constant probelms with the subscription which does not activate. I've contacted McAfee numerous times to fix the problem which they have done only to find the next day the subsription needs to be activated again I have to contact McAfee again. I don't think they know exactly what is causing the problem unless this is a faulty disc. Also found my computer was slower, so needed to increase my memory. However Total protection does do the job it is supposed todo, but the subscription issue is very annoying. Been with McAfee for 4 years never had this problem before.

Has anyone else had the same problem and how was it fixed?

I purchased this product in late DEC 2011, and as you can see it clearly states 12 month subscription ??
but when I open the box it had a document stating if i paid another £1.99 i could get 3 months extra subscription for this product,
so I loaded this program last night to be informed via the web site that it ran out in Oct 2012 that's only nine months... they want me to purchase another three months to complete a year..

the product its self I have used for years and have no issue in general about it ..
its just the false 12 month subscription thing ...

If your told its a 12 months subscription then it should be just that 12 months ,...

so spend your money wisely

regards

Used Mcafee for years and recommended it to other users in the past.
Got the new 2012 version, installed it on two computers but both computers will not activate.

One computer was a fresh install after i had to wipe the disk because a previous version of Mcafee allowed a virus to infect it and turn certain services i.e. mcafee off, downloaded stinger version which did find the virus but could not delete it or quarantine it.

All in all have lost faith in this product.

I had the 2011 version of the same software so my expectations were high. I am not disappointed. This product is excellent at keeping you protected with some excellent features. The only minus point is installation was a bit of a pain, especially upgrading from last years software, it took me three attempts, the main problem is the lack of instructions. Wake up Mcafee and please sort this out!

McAfee came with the computer and I purchased extra years. Three years on my machine was infected by a Ukash ransome ware, not detected by McAfee - and they then charged me 60 quid to get rid of it! Last week my computer crashed and was totally blocked. It was infected by a trojan and 3 viruses, the worst being win32/heur. This malware was detected by AVG Free - why pay for crap antivirus software when better programs are available for free. Do not go with McAfee if you want to stay safe.
