Additional Specifications
Language Support: English
Software Name: Total Protection Plus
Software Main Type: Security
Strengths: Works OK. Probably not as good as Norton but it doesn't have Nortons faults with delaying or stopping computer opertations either. No virus has ever gotten by, in the 3 year I used McAfee.
Weakness: Tech support is from India now, used to be the USA or UK so that is not very good now, but OK.
McAfee rebate vendor is always trying not to pay the rebates. Each time for the last 3 years they have rejected it for some reason that made no sense. But when you make a complaint, they will end up paying it, like they should have in the first place. I like the product and it has a Maintenance section for the computer, called McAfee QuickClean. Will take out the files that you don’t need and...
Strengths: 12-in-1 Prevention and Protection. Good price for what it has to offer.
Weakness: It slows the computer down.
Overall, McAfee Total Protection is a decent product. It is affordable, offers a lot of protection and is easy to use and install. The only downside is that I have noticed that it does slow my computer down a little bit, especially when first starting it up. Sometimes, webpages are slow to load, which didn't seem to happen before installing the software.
Strengths: Lots of integrated security tools providing compatability.
Weakness: Major resource hog - CPU and memory.
Tested on XP. The plethora of tools is great, especially for the price. The fact that they're all "in" one program is nice too, as it consolidates status icons and they all work together happily. Running all 12 things at once however does require a lot of memory and CPU power. I suggest turning some features off, as they're included in basic Windows tools anyway. The biggest thing this product...
Strengths: easy to install and use
Weakness: uses a lot of memory and slows down computer.Not effective in dealing with adware/malware. Late with sotware updates
After installation of the McAfee software my computer slowed up significantly. I have also had pproblems with large numbers of different adware/software trojans which were not picked up by McAffee.Information received from them said that they could not deal with Vundo variant at the time.I had to use Superantispyware and Adware 2007 to remove over 120 infections missed by McAfee. It was a bad...
Strengths: ok
Weakness: may has problems with installation
I installed McAfee Total Protection 2008 to make a try when boring with bulky Norton Antivirus. I have Spybot Search and Destroy in system and McAfee won't run the installation well until I removed Spybot S&D. You have the option to choose which feature to install which was nice to save some disk. I like Site Advisor Plus which gives lots information on sites. The protection is good so far.
Strengths: It is a all in one protection. Less expensive.
Weakness: Since it is a all in one, so there is a problem of the resource usage. It is often causing system slow if you turn on all the features for protection.
Overall it is not bad. I know it is not the one everyone likes it but for the sake of security it works quite well for protecting your family computers and it is for 3 PCs. Definitely you can turn off some of the features to alleviate the computer load and you should be happy for bothof the protection and computer speed. Anyway, it is a big brand name and you should not need to worry about the...
Strengths: none
Weakness: hang down the system
The program was working OK until it hung up my computer and I had to reboot it. The 2008 version does come with a new feature which is site advisor plus. This can make up the slowed-down system problem. The program would get higher rating if McAfee could get rid of
Strengths: Usually can be found cheaper than Norton if you look around. Seems less resource intensive.
Weakness: None really.
I picked this up because it was a good deal in comparison to a similar Norton product. It feels as though my machine isn't bogged down much by it. Interface is pretty intuitive, and I feel satisfied with my purchase. I would recommend.
Strengths: Good detection rate, 3 - user, comprehensive coverage
Weakness: Resource intensive, slows down your computer
The McAfee Total Protection 2008 w/ Site Advisor Plus - 3-User offers good real-time protection against viruses and other malware, with detection rates better than Symantec Antivirus, but not as good as others such as NOD32 or even free ones like Avast. It is also resource intensive, slowing down your computer noticeably, especially during startup (FYI I didn't enable startup scan). The only good...

It's No More Secure than a Piece of Cardboard Used...
Strengths: None that I've seen.
Weakness: Makes your PC slower than a dinosaur caught in a tar pit and is blind as a bat when it comes to detecting and stopping malware.
I only used McAfee because it was well-known and offered for free with Comcast's Internet service. Not long after using it, my PC became infected with vicious malware that would open up Internet Explorer against my will on Start Up, and deluge me with all kinds of pop up boxes claiming to offer a product. After repeatedly scanning with McAfee, and it not detecting any infections, I called both...
