  McAfee Internet Security Suite

  If it only had a better firewall.

  by: The Sports Fan on 16-Jan-2008 10:50:02 AM

  Pros: Well, if it had a better firewall it would be a good security suite. It has a good anti-virus, above average anti-spyware and a fun to play with but a passive firewall that doesn't do well in penetration teats, can easily be bypassed and, or disabled and it never asked me a single question, not one. If a firewall doesn't ask, I get worried that it's sub par. This is the weak point of this suite.

  Cons: Site Adviser is free. There are far better free firewalls then the one in this suite. It misses some infections and can't kill some others. One of my best friends was McAfee since 2007, Her computers were running poorly. I talked her into trying my first choice in a security suite and it found 16 infections, Two were trojans, one virus and the rest were spy cookies. For myself, I'll stick with KIS and Ashampoo anti-spyware v2.

  And the verdict is.......

  by: Charles K on 27-Feb-2008 10:20:26 PM

  Pros: I used McAfee for over a year when it was free through my ISP and it was ok but nothing to write home about. This suite came pre-installed on my new Dell Desktop with dual hard drives. The first thing I did was download MCPR ( the McAfee removal tool) and removed it from both. The anti-virus isn't bad at all but I agree that the firewall is the weak point in this suit and thats the reason I got rid of it. I just can't trust it. A new computer is a big investment for anyone so security is of the utmost importance to me. I chose another suite for mine.

  Cons: Firewall is the weak point. It can be disabled or bypassed by a hacker. Doesn't flash warnings or ask questions like I'd expect.
