Rating: Summary: Do Not Buy This Product!!!! Review: Do not buy this product if you expect to receive any support for problems that may arise. I purchased the product and tried to install it on my computer, however, the VirusScan component would not install. To speak with a represenative costs $2.95 a minute. Additionally, you have to really search their website to find the phone numbers or email addresses. I emailed my problem (the only choice available for free support on their malfunctioning product)and received incomplete directions (days later) on how to solve it which caused me to have to uninstall and reinstall XP. I would have given this product no stars had the option been available.
Rating: Summary: Horrible product, DO NOT BUY. Review: I should have listened to the other reviews, but I didn't. I installed this junk, and now it has messed everything up. I can't get onto the internet (i'm using a friends right now). It won't let me fully un-intall it. Tried Tech support over the phone, to talk to someone live is 2.50 a minute, and they're no help what so ever. It has been a nightmare since I installed it, I wish I never did. My internet techs tried everything to help me, but have failed. They're final suggestion is to re-boot computer, looks like that's my next step. Thanks Mcafee for a complete disaster. Never again. This junk doesn't deserve 1 star, but that's the lowest I could give. This product is NOT recommended what-so-ever.
Rating: Summary: Skip McAfee, Buy Something that Works Review: I have used McAfee's antivirus and firewall products for a number of years, and had been quite pleased. Then, I decided to upgrade to Internet Security 6, despite poor reviews here. BAD MISTAKE! I thought many of the problems mentioned in the reviews were the result of user error, but now I know they are not. I have never had the misfortune of owning software with so many bugs. Numerous reloads have not helped. I would advise strongly against buying this software.
Rating: Summary: STAY AWAY Review: This software came installed on my new pc. Almost everytime I went on the internet my pc crashed completely. The error message I got clearly said that the problem was in McAfee. I called Dell Support and they told me that they get many calls from people experiencing the same problem. They told me my pc was crashing because I needed to download the upgrade. I did this. Everything was okay for the next few times I got on the internet. Within a week my pc crashed again with the same error. I finally had to remove the software from my pc. It has been working fine every since. I'm now going to buy Norton.
Rating: Summary: Be afraid, be very afraid Review: This is very possibly the WORST software that I have ever attempted to use, and I've been working with computers for over twenty years! Everything the other folks said is true. I've used McAfee products in the past, but this one is a disaster. I'll never make the McAfee mistake again. I only wish that I had read some reviews before I purchased this non-working, non-returnable piece of crap! ZERO STARS

Rating: Summary: Terrible waste of time Review: I'm back with McAfee's tech "support". It took me 12 hours in my first attempt to install this. Then another few. I now get errors on my PC, it messed up my IE, and has been a nightmare. I was able to install one part of the package and then a second. Then the support person told me to do something else and it deleted the antivirus. I've been through several attempts with these people and they haven't really been able to help me. I have been told for nearly two weeks that a level-2 support person would contact me and he/she still hasn't. Then when you ask a question, they don't answer the question you asked them. The tech supports ask you something totally different like they're reading off of a script. When my e-mails have been answered, I've received the same answer as one which I already tried but didn't work. Oops. This review says I must give them at least 1 star. Otherwise, I would have given it a zero.
Rating: Summary: Popups and then some Review: The last thing I want from a product is more popups containing "partner advertisements." This is not the biggest complaint...the product is too difficult to use...and then I come back to the thing about mcafee partner advertisement popupwindows. give me a break. It's very similar to having Quicktime in the system tray - how do you get rid of that?!!?
Rating: Summary: Don't Buy Yet Review: Too many bugs. Slows machine -- even running XP with Cable Internet & 384MB RAM. The Spam Killer does not effectively integrate with Outlook. Had to frequently shut down the privacy service to access anything. Had to do multiple installs to get product initially running with all features. Very disappointing.
Rating: Summary: Avoid This Review: Signed up for cable internet and installed this product for protection on my WIN98SE machine. Install went fine but multiple fatal errors, freezes and shutdowns everyday since. Seems to be major conflicts with the Privacy Service component, especially when I try to run Musicmatch Jukebox. Crashes almost everytime unless I disable Privacy Service. Also, you have to log in everytime you restart your system and takes at least three times as long to load up when the system starts. I actually went ahead and bought a new computer and I plan on using Norton products on that system!
