Summary: The WORST piece of software I have ever encountered
Review: I just can't describe how bad this software is. If you buy this software you are one big sucker. If you bay full price, you are a stupid sucker. Just don't do it. I've been fighting with this product for 6 weeks and have finally given up. Yes, I consider myself a sucker. I am trying to contact customer service to try to get my money back, otherwise, I'm just tossing it in the trash and moving on with my life.BTW, I tested a free trial of Zone Alarm Pro and it works great. I recommend it. Check it out.

Summary: Look Elsewhere
Review: I've used McAfee for years. Both as a network administrator and at home. I'm now giving up on McAfee. I'm tired of lock ups, reboots, etc. etc. I could go on and on. Currently using Zone Labs trial version and a trial version of Norton. I'm very please so far. Probably will not use Norton Firewall due to other opinions here.
Maybe McAfee will get it right one day. I've been too patient. I'm trying something else. I suggest you consider the same.

Summary: Extremely difficult to configure
Review: I've used Zone Alarm, Norton Internet Security and now [regretfully] McAfee Internet Security. McAfee Internet Security is cripled by its lack of information and capabilities. Norton's product is by far superior. The alert boxes nor activity log tell you the full details of the remote IP address or ports not anything about the local communication. This becomes important, because, you might be perfectly comfortable having Internet Explorer access a web site on port 80, but freak out if Internet Explorer was allowed to share you files with "web folders" on a different TCP/UDP port. In addition, data is displayed in hexadecimal format with no interpretation. Even as network professional, I don't have the binary format of IP packets memorized. My advice is to skip this product and go directly for Norton Internet Security.

Summary: Don't go near this product
Review: If you want Xp to crash with a blue screen of death when someone sends you a file across the LAN and to have emails with attachments bigger than 50k fail and to spend all day setting options that the program doesn't remember then go ahead .... waste your money! Oh and uninstalling is very easy if you are good at editing the registry manually Never again will I tread the mcafee path

Summary: Transform your new P4 into a 286
Review: Just like their utilities package I bought about 3 years ago,
this product literally brings your pc to it's knees!
I have used Norton utilities, norton anti virus and norton systemworks 2001 through 2003.
Norton has never messed up any of my systems like mcafee has.
The latest norton systemworks 2003 professional and the norton internet security 2003 integrate seamlessly.
I would go with norton for both utilities, internet security and anti-virus.
Mcafee's virus scan works, but the rest leaves MUCH to be desired!

Summary: Like HAL from 2001
Review: Nightmare! My computer took over, didn't let me logon as adminstrator - wouldn't even prompt for password. Couldn't update or even uninstall the damn thing. After digging through the adminstrator functions in windows, I was finally able to turn "hal" off and free up my computer. Naturally, the techinical service area was closed... and then I got directed to the web-site. Which HAL had closed off all internet access... arrgh!

Summary: Is Norton starting a bad-publicity Campaign?
Review: Ok, Norton must be hiring a lot of people to come on here and trash McAfee Products. I've used this program for... what is it now... somewhere around a year I think. I've never had any problems with it. I hear people complaining about not being able to connect to the net or shared files. Most likely because something is configured wrong. But as far as I see. McAfee rocks.

Summary: Terrible Product
Review: On a new Dell running Microsoft XP, it caused the computer to hang. I did a re-install of the operating system and loaded McAfee again. Same problem. The product just doesn't work and the online "help" is useless.

Summary: Terrible product...buyers beware!
Review: This has to be the absolute worst software I've ever purchased, no kidding. I wish i could give it a negative star rating, one star is way to much for this piece of junk. The firewall is a joke, even when you tell it to allow an action and remember, it keeps asking over and over until you just have to turn the stupid thing off. It doesn't block any pop-ups, can't update virus definitions. Actually, it doesn't seem to do anything except add frustration and irritation to computing. Thanks Mcafee, from another customer you cheated out of $69.95 plus tax. If you want a good firewall, download ZoneAlarm...it's free. Also, PC-cillin is a good antivirus program and and is reasonably priced. I wish I'd know these things before I wasted my money on this one.
