Software Reviews of McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009 3-User [OLD VERSION]Customer Review: Obnoxious Summary: 2 StarsDisclaimer: The time-limited trial came with a computer I bought. Some of the annoyances I discuss may be related to the time-limited trial.
I really hate needy programs or electronics. Constantly demanding my attention is completely inappropriate for any sort of computer program. McAfee does exactly that all the time. Some of the messages are trying to convince me to buy the program, of course, but most are demands to reboot my computer every other second due to new versions of the program. I don't know if they dumbed down the language, or if they seriously stop scanning for viruses after they download definitions, but sheesh.
With how obnoxious it is, I have no interest in buying any McAfee products.
The other annoying thing is that there is no way to unsubscribe from the e-mails they send me. At the bottom of every one is a little note saying that the e-mail isn't unsolicited, it was a condition of the agreement I signed when I installed the software. Does the non-trialware version do that? No clue.
I'm sorry, folks, but spam is spam even if you did trick me into agreeing to it.
Does it work as an anti-virus? Maybe. No real way of telling until it misses one and your computer gets hosed. Is it more annoying than most other pieces of software I come in contact with? Yeah, I think that's a reasonable assessment.
