Rating: 6

Time with product: 7

Strengths: Does its job

Weaknesses: Takes memory and slows down my laptop a bit.

Summary: I got this from Amazon.com for my Sony VAIO VGN-NR310E/S. The laptop came with a 30 day trial offer from Norton but I decided to buy McAfee. It has been OK so far but it puts a little load on the system resources but I don't seem to notice it that much unless I am looking at the Task Manager.

Time with product: 2 Months

Strengths: none

Weaknesses: hang up your computer after installation

Summary: I would not recommend buying this software since my computer was completely dead upon installation. Therefore, I wanted to remove the software but it did not let me do it due to "administartion authorization" even though I was at the administrator account. Very bad experience.

Time with product: 4 Months

Strengths: Excellent anti-virus

Weaknesses: Renewing license.

Summary: This is one of my Anti-virus and is usable for 3 users. It works great does not slows down PC like Nortons does. Works in Vista Premium (I think others also). I'm not happy for retail customer they should have longer license period, they can make money with corporates why us?Performance & updates works great, I tested with EICAR Test Virus after installation and it did of course passed. I love Mcafee compared to Nortons because it does not reduces your PC performance and takes les CPU time I think.

Time with product: 5 Days

Strengths: Great Product

Weaknesses: None

Summary: This was listed as the 2008 version of the product. I have the 2007 version and it has 2007 printed on the product box. This 2008 version doesn't have 2008 printed anywhere on the packaging or disc. So I have to assume it is a 2008 product. The software itself is a great product to have. I have used Norton in the past and am very happy since switching to McAfee.
