Software Reviews of McAfee Internet Security 2009 1-User [OLD VERSION]Customer Review: Didn't do the job! Summary: 2 StarsI'm pretty cheap so every year I change security software because I refuse to pay be bucks just to renew what I purchased very cheaply a year ago. If you're like me you know what I mean... pay something like $20 for the first year and then they want upwards to $100 to renew it. anyway, it has given me a lot of experience with many vendors so when I say I'm disappointed in McAfee it's because I have had to use other software to fix problems that McAfee can't even find. Trust me, if you have a problem like Malware that redirects you to another site in a Google search you know you have a problem even though your security software says all is clean and running smoothly. I had McAfee in the late 90's and I had problems with it then but thought that perhaps they had improved the product and I was wrong... it's still slow, slows your system and doesn't find the problems.
There are a lot of good and bad reviews but, for me, the important part is that it do what it should and it doesn't. I'm dumping this about 3 months before my subscription expires because I have 2 computers infected with Malware and McAfee is useless in identifying it... let alone correcting it. We've had to download SpyBot to fix the problem and it also showed numerous issues that McAfee also missed and this is not the first time. Right after we purchased it we had a Vermundo problem that McAfee was at a loss on correcting so we had to purchase PC Tools Spyware Doctor to fix that problem. By the way, SpyBot is free!
If you want to do a scan and get a report that all is fine and you're not infected then McAfee is what you need. If you want to be protected and even fix something that may be infected then keep on looking because this isn't that product. I'm going back to Norton 360 and if that's not any better then I'll try something else but it will never be McAfee again. I gave it 2 stars because it did run smoothly and did find some stuff... and even blocked a few Trojans.
We have 3 computers still running Windows XP SP2 and though they're all in the same room they are not networked.
