Software Reviews of McAfee VirusScan Plus 2007
Customer Review: very bad product
Summary: 1 Stars
I Bought this software in 2006 to install it on my computer for the 2007 year,I had problems with this software, My Virus Definitons expired in February of 2007, I tried to upgrade them but i couldn't because when i would put the cd in it would tell me that VirusScan would not install due to an unwanted program that Mcafee detected, i uninstalled the old version so i can put the new one in, It did not work in my computer, I uninstalled and got Kaspersky, It's two programs in one, Internet Security and Anti Virus, Don't buy this product, Save your money and buy Kaspersky Internet Security instead, You won't be dissapointed, It works great on my computer, So it should work on yours.
Bye

Used to be a big fan of McAfee Virus Scan, but not any more!! This program makes your computer run extremely slow! I am sad to say that I will no longer purchase from McAfee and am changing my virus protection!Customer Review: Worse product ever.
Summary: 1 Stars
I'd actual prefer a virus to this product.
First of all, like other warnings in the reviews, this product doesn't play well with other antiVirus, firewall, or antispyware products. Can't even have them installed, if McAfee detects them, it will screw up the installation or worse.
It doesn't even play well with itself. I had VirusScan 2006 installed then installed this version and it made my computer unbootable. Blue screen of death. And there's no telephone number for tech support anywhere in the box. I had to wait for days until I could borrow another computer get connected to internet and use their live chat tech support option. They resolved the issue eventually, but what a nightmare.
Thought it was all over, then today with the latest update, it tells me I'm unprotected and that it can't verify my subscription. Got back on tech support and guess what they want me to do? Oh, yes - uninstall and reinstall the product. I don't think so. I'll take my chances with a virus since they do less damage than this product has caused.
It's a shame too, verion 2006 was good. The 2007 version is from hell, though, stay away, stay far far away.
Customer Review: McAfee has gone from bad to worse
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had McAfee VirusScan for more years than I remember. After the last 'upgrade' I started having problems. The most annoying was being told by McAfee Security Center that my computer was not properly protected. This happened every few weeks. The reason was that the software was unable to 'verify your subscription'. When I clicked the link to verify the subscription, McAfee informed me that an error had occurred and that I should uninstall and reinstall the software. The online forum on the McAfee website has complaints from lots of consumers with the same problem. McAfee's best advice was to uninstall another manufacturer's firewall because it is incompatible with the latest release of VirusScan. Here is a direct quote from an online chat session I had with one of McAfee's Technical Support "I would like to inform you that McAfee products conflict with any other third party software, that is why you are receiving this error."
So, if you want to use a firewall or anti-spyware or ... from another manufacturer, look elsewhere for your anti-virus software. My response was to uninstall the software that is unable to work with the other software I choose to use; McAfee no longer resides on my hard drive.
Customer Review: Slows your pc down a lot
Summary: 1 Stars
I can't recommend this antivirus after using it 2 months. It slows down bigtime everything you do on the pc. The scans come on when you start up the pc and they take over 2 hours to complete. Trying to work while the scan is running is so irritating. I do have dial up but even my friend who has high speed has experienced a lot of slow down too with this same software. Registery change popups are annoying. Even when a scan is not running this software has slowed the pc. A neighbor tried to install this same product and had major problems, ended up uninstalling what little installed.
