McAfee VirusScan Reviews

McAfee Virusscan is, for me, one of the best antivirus programs on the market. I have been using it for more than 8 years in my home's computer, and I have never had a virus on it until now. The only virus I had one time was on my office laptop where I run Trend's Antivirus, and it didn't recognize it (Trend was updated ...  Read the complete review

Right !! I am an IDIOT !!!! And although I have sorted out three users affected by the Badtrans virus - two by my own idiocy and one by someone elses - and gained 'brownie points' for doing so, I am still wearing sack-cloth and rubbed over with ashes. If there was a brain-reprocessing plant in Edinburgh, then I would still turn ...  Read the complete review

The first time that I used McAfee I was not too sure about it as I was used to the Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus product. When Dr Solomon,s was taken over I by Network Associates (NAI) we were told by our suppliers that we would have to use McAfee as that is what they would be supplying now. It seems that both Dr Solomon’s and the McAfee ...  Read the complete review

I acquired a copy of Mcafee VirusScan V 4.03. I was pleased with the software and it detected a couple of viruses. However, I recently upgraded to version 5. I bought the software from amazon for £25 and expected improved virus detection facilities. I feel cheated because the virus scan engine is the same version as the one I already had and ...  Read the complete review

Any user of the Internet needs an appropriate level of protection against the ever-increasing number of viruses that are around today. For a few years I have been a user of Mcafee products and found them very reassuring.

Having McAfee Virus scan meant that I didn't get infected by the virus that attaches to JPG files and was sent to me by an infected computer. As soon as I tried to open the attachment I was asked if I wanted to continue as it contained a virus. I chose to delete instead. It's that simple. There are a lot of things I don't yet ...  Read the complete review

The scenerio goes something on the lines of... "We had a McAfee Virus Checker which came free with Windows 98 Plus.

The automatic update often ...  Read the complete review
