McAfee Inet Sec-V8.0 user reviews

"McAfee Inet Sec-V8.0 is very easy to use, install and maintain.

"I like McAfee Inet Sec-V8.0 and firewall products more than I like Norton. I work with computers all day so I see them both often. I would recommend McAfee first. It is not much of a system load and it really doesn't need much attention. It has in-depth functionality and customizability. I have had about three years experience with this product.

"When i started out with my new laptop i went on the web without any virus precautions, and got about 15 viruses over a weekend. However as soon as i bought Mcafee i didnt get another one. In fact i havent had a virus for 5 months!

I usually scan it twice a month and it will usually say "cookie detected" and will get rid of it at the click of a button. Its great as well because it has a pop-up blocker and a rating system for each website you visit and i trust it to the letter, so if i website is rated unsafe, i say well away from it. I prefer McAfee Inet Sec-V8.0 so much over Norton because with Norton it lets loads through and i get loads of cookies and other unwanted things on my laptop wich i then have to delete myself, and with Norton it is always crashing, and freezing which is a pain in the arse if you are in the middle of a virus scan.

"I bought the retail version of the entire suite of McAfee Inet Sec-V8.0. The latest upgrade is awesome. The first time installation takes some time because it force you to instal the latest upgrade version for each one of Internet security components. Once that was done everything worked great. Options and configuration of components, especially antivirus and firewall is too easy. After installation of the security suite on my old notebook it is running great with high performance. I bought another one for my desktop. One more thing; The users review in amazon.com about McAfee security suite are fake. Non of them are true. I think all of them have been written by one person or by a compatitive company.

"Pros: I suppose McAfee Inet Sec-V8.0
works

Cons: System degradation, documentation, didn't deliver as promised

Summary: I have to admit that it was my mistake to download this package. Don't be a sucker like me and buy this package!

While I suppose the package delivers security the cost in terms of system degradation was bad to the point that my laptop slowed to the point of being unuseable! Moving from application to application was terribly slow and having multiple browser windows up slowed mail functions to a crawl. I do a lot of photo editing and it killed those aplications as well.

By removing phishing monitoring and other parts I was able to speed the processing somewhat. Hotmail was 100x better without e-mail scanning. McAfee also scanned my inbound e-mail for Outlook but it put so many wanted e-mails into the error folder that i had to check there to retrieve e-mails from trusted senders.

Documentation is tough to use so knowing how to set the suite up is a problem.

The sucker part is that I paid for a disk so that I could reload the suite after reloading my laptop but after a month and a half I have gotten nothing! I suppose this is how McAfee supplements their income!

I wasted my money on this package as I am going to have to buy another!

Update, I was told by McAfee support that it takes 4 to 8 weeks to ship the disks! I can get a movie or a book from Amazon in a couple of days but.... never mind! "
