Product Description
You want to enjoy the benefits of connecting, surfing, and shopping online and don’t want to think about security risks. At McAfee we live and breathe digital security, relentlessly working to stay several steps ahead of the bad guys. Every second of every day, we focus on one thing: keeping your digital life safe. McAfee Internet Security will keep you protected while you roam the Internet with real-time antivirus, anti-malware, spam filters, advanced parental controls and firewall watching your back. McAfee Internet Security offers comprehensive protection against the latest Internet threats.
High-performance scanning engine (ENHANCED)—We built our next-generation scanning engine to guard your PC from the latest viruses, Trojans, spyware, rootkits, and other threats, all without seriously compromising battery life or slowing down your PC.
Safe searching and shopping (ENHANCED)— With color-coded icons next to every search result, including popular social networking sites, you’ll know if the site you’re about to visit is safe.
Digital data message (ENHANCED)— We provide information about the location of the blocked IP address and what makes the connection unsafe.
Home screen—Got a touch-friendly device? Our new home screen is built for ease of use with these devices. And it still works great with a track pad or mouse, so navigating to common security tasks is a breeze on any device.
Security reports—We’ve redesigned the security report to bring you the information you need in visually interesting ways. The new report includes relevant images and links for an easier-to-understand snapshot of what’s going on in the world of security.
Vulnerability scanner—If your operating system (OS) and programs are out of date, you could be vulnerable to threats. The new vulnerability scanner checks your PC for missing updates, and then recommends solutions to keep you safe.
Malicious ads and popup protection— Websites don’t always have control over the ads they display. Sometimes, you might find a risky ad on a site you trust every day. McAfee automatically blocks suspect malicious ads to keep you protected.
Block Spam and Unwanted Email Antispam (ENHANCED)—All those unwanted emails aren’t just annoying. They could be malicious. We’ll filter out all the undesirable stuff to keep you and your inbox protected. And the antispam engine integrates with new technology to make sure the right emails are making it into your inbox.
Keep Your Family Safe Parental controls—Worried about your kids seeing stuff they shouldn’t? Parental controls let you block inappropriate sites with age-based rules and adjustable categories. You can even limit the amount of time they spend online and print reports for every user you’ve set up.
Surfing report—Find out what your kids have been up to online through the surfing report. You’ll know when they log in, if they attempt to access forbidden sites, and how much time they spend online.

(What's this?)
I have used anti virus software for many years. I used to use Norton but found it was very system heavy in resources and slowed down my PC (which in fairness might have been down to the PC!). Anyway I tried McAfee and have not looked back. it is easy to use. It updates regularly. It seems to have kept my computer and the 2 family laptops safe and secure for many years without problem. I suppose that says it all! Not sure there is much more to add. If I have one irritation it is when renewing, the renewal price is often signifciantly higher than the origianl purchase price so watch for that if on auto renewal.....you might find yourself paying double what you could be paying. I turn off the auto renewal to ensure I don't get caught in that trap. Anti virus is essential. This is a well known and highly recommended anti viral software. It is reasonably priced and it says what it does on the box. OAfter many eyars of using this product, I have no hesitation in recommending it. I will not be changing.

McAfee Internet Security 2014
-----------------------------------------
I have a Web design company and many machines to protect. I mix and match my security software but this is the first year I have included this manufacturers.
The 20124 three machine edition.
---------------------------------------------
Firstly, it’s very good value for three machines compared to say the market leaders Kaspersky and Norton. This version support Windows 8 and 8.1 along with older versions.
Installation.
---------------
This is very simple just put the disk in and let it work, all you have to do is register and enter the serial number. It self-configures and therefore needs no user input unless you want to manage options yourself.
Setting up.
--------------
There is none really it is a set and forget suite unless you want to configure it. The main time you would want to do this is to use the parental control functions to block keywords and any sites you don’t want accessed.
In use.
---------
This software uses an intelligent software algorithm to keep it efficient and it only uses spare memory when it’s available. Most of the competitions do the same sort of thing but on two identical laptops McAfee was slightly faster. You can manually scan an item or set the software to sort everything out for you which is the default setting.
I sent some emails to my machine with test Malware on and this software got everything and dealt with it with no fuss or need for me to do anything. Norton and Kaspersky also did the same. AVG popped up and asked me if I wanted to delete or quarantine one of the files. To be honest it ran as fast and as well as the Norton and Kaspersky offerings. Read more ›

Let's start with the positives. McAfee is a lot less intrusive than Norton, seems to use less memory, and has a nice clear interface. The downside is the installation experience which is a lot less informative than it used to be, Installing it on my netbook was quite slow - perhaps an external CD drive was part of that - but also involved watching the screen and wondering whether anything was happening. Got there in the end but that could be better.

As would be expected, this internet security suite offers real time protection against viruses, spyware etc being downloaded onto your computer and also offers regular automatic updates and file scanning. I know some people have reported issues installing the software on their computers (this will be a potential issue with any software, as it may conflict with other programs, specific to that user) however I can report that my installation was seamless.
Once installed, there isn't much more for the user to do, as the software is automatically set up to check for updates and scan for threats on a regular basis. There are also a number of other tools included in this security suite, such as a vulnerability scanner (which checks for out of date software, although found nothing on my computer) and file cleaner (which deletes unnecessary files which may affect system performance).
The packaging for this security suite has also moved in the right direction (being only a CD in a cardboard sleeve) which is a huge improvement on the CD, in a plastic case, inside an unnecessarily large box!
From my experience of this product, I haven't come across any particular problems, however McAfee has had a poorer reputation than that of some of its rivals in recent years, hence the reason I reduced my rating by one star.

the new version was so easy to install - no complications!

My security was running out with Norton so I gave this a try.
I have an older laptop a view sonic which runs on windows seven. While it took a while to install I thought once up and running it would do the job just fine.
Unfortunately I was wrong. My computer does not like McAfee as my CPU goes through the roof causing it to well freeze, fall over I don't know what the technical term would be but my computer doesn't work at all when this is installed. I have just taken this off my computer and installed Norton again, what can I say my Melvin, yes I named my computer is up and running again like a dream.
