Tried it, didn't like it.
Pros: Included an anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall, and some other useful features. It runs smoothly on vista, scans during the install, and installs the updates during the install as well. Doesn't hog all the resources like other security centers.
Cons: First off, it's a resource hog. During scans and updates, I couldn't use my computer without programs freezing up. I had this on both of my computers for nearly 8 months without it detecting a virus or anything other then gamespy arcade and it wouldn't even quarantine that. The scan times are extremely long with poor detection rate. I managed to grab some activeX nasties and it didn't catch one of them unlike my current Av/Spyware. On vista, none of the components would be recognized as being active at times according to the windows security center and I would restart my computer and nothing then I'd shut everything off then close the window and have to load it back up and see the same old drab Mcafee loading scree then re-enable everything. Restarting my computer didn't work most of the time, oh and it gets better when I was trying to install the Vista Service pack 1 I had to uninstall this program to get it to work. I tried 5-7 times to get that to work before uninstalling this program. The price is pretty high as well, 40 dollars for this program isn't worth it.
