A really good product. McAfee excels in the antivirus market. This product offers six in one solution, not only will it look after the PC's security needs. It will do things like defrag your hard disk. Which is required I do it once every three months to keep the hard disk in tip top shape.

This product has features that you won't find with Norton.

Some of the ones I like. No more messages from security management when I am playing full screen movies or videos.

Also this product checks Yahoo messenger and similar product from others like AOL. Norton doesn't do this.

Also there is a virtual assistant, this comes in the shape of a download. Install this and you will find it looks after the McAfee software installed on the system.

I recommend this product over Norton because it has features which Norton doesn't support. The interface is not that good. Norton wins that.

Also with this product user can buy or have more than one licence.

McAfee lacks in providing decent technical support. This could become an issue if the pc or laptop is messed up but in majority installs I don't see this as a problem and there is a virtuall assistant to take care of things.

Installation of the product is easy. Download and most of it is done by clicking on buttons and following the procedure which is easy peasy.

Overall a product packed with features and better than Norton.

Updates are not hourly but I can live with this.
