Software Reviews of McAfee VirusScan Plus 2007
Customer Review: Rotten
Summary: 1 Stars
This came installed on my new computer. I have been a Norton user for years but since McAfee was pre-installed I decided to go with it. What a mistake. It was the most slow and annoying thing I have ever encountered, filling my screen with ludicrus messages, pop-up and advertisements. It caused the broadband to act like dial up. It was so annoying that I removed the program and switched back to Norton (which isn't all that great but I'm used to it). Spyware and adware and viruses cause the computer to slow down, fill up with pop-ups and install unwanted garbage all over your computer. I can honestly say that McAfee was worse than having malware.Customer Review: From Norton to McAffe
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a user of Norton for at least 10 years. However, when I got my new Vista desktop, I couldn't get my Norton Internet Security to work with Vista, despite long support sessions with Norton.
I then came across a free copy McAffee VirusScan Plus 2007, so I thought I'd try it. Well, I must say I am now a McAffee fan. It works great with Vista and is very user friendly. I now will be protecting my Vista machine with McAffee going forward. I highly recommend this product.
Customer Review: McAffee is infuriating
Summary: 1 Stars
I have used McAfee virus-scan for years.
I am extremely irritated by them from time to time. Their program causes pop-up adds to periodically appear from my task-bar telling me that I can buy all sorts of upgrades and add-ons to their virusscan program for only $29.99. The pop ups ARE NOT browser windows. They come from the virusscan program itself. I do not want my computer to become an advertizing agent for them! Furthermore, I would like to be able to give powerpoint presentations to large audiences without having the pop-ups interrupting my talk.
I have not been able to stop these pop-ups, and it pisses me off every time it happens. I just went to their customer support page, and they won't talk to me about this issue unless I pay them.
Customer Review: Frustrating download and install - buggy
Summary: 1 Stars
I used VirusScan software for the past 9 months with no issues. Now, due to recent changes by Mcafee, the download function for updating the software (DAT) files has broken. I've spent hours trying to get it to work again (following instuctions from the Mcafee support site and forums) to no avail. LIFE is way too short for this. I will be switching to a competitive product in the near future. Customer Review: Warning, do not give McAfee your credit card number
Summary: 1 Stars
I tried an earlier version of this program because it came with my Dell computer and signed up for the automatic update. It did not work properly, so I deleted it. But they still billed $40 for the update last year. After dealing with their customer service over the phone and dealing with their phone system for a couple hours, they reversed the charges. They agreed that I should not have to pay to update a program that I did not have on my computer and I didn't use.
But they did not give up. The following month they billed me the $40 annual fee again. So I disputed that with my credit card. I thought I would not have to deal with these people again.
But yesterday surprise they sent me an e-mail. *Your McAfeeŽ subscription has been successfully renewed using the payment information on file.* Who has time for this?
-----Update---------
Hi,
It's August 22, 2008 and they have just charged me another $40.00 on my credit card for a product I do not have, have not used for years, and I do not want. The (McAfeeŽ subscription). I have deleted all McAfee products years ago. AGAIN, DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER.
