"I don't know why a lot of people hate it?"
Version: McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2012
Pros
McAfee is a real good one to protect pc, it catches almost threats out there to harm your pc when you're online.
Cons
It takes a lot pc's resource, but not much.
Summary
Love it. I think that you never try, never know.

"Very ineffective Anti-Virus!"
Version: McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2012
Pros
Site-advisor feature is good.
Cons
Pay for virus removal if your pc gets infected with an active subscription.
Summary
I'm not satisfied with this product. It did not protect my pc from a malware. The customer service is pathetic. Almost impossible to find a number where you can call them if you need help. They renewed my subscription with my cc information without my consent.

"Useless product"
Version: McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2012
Pros
Already on new PC
Cons
Stop a Trojan too late.
Summary
After a virus infected my PC, I contacted them for assistance. Even though I have an active subscription, they wanted $89 to remove the virus. What do I have them for?
Don't waste your money. -
"Horrible product. As bad as malware"
Version: McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2012
Pros
It came with a 1 year free subscription with the computer I bought
Cons
If this company was once reputable, it is no longer. Many client companies will no longer use McAfee: It catches things maybe 1 in 4 times, requires restarts everytime it does minor updates, and is a generally USELESS program. Home users: Get Avast or Microsoft Security Essentials.
Summary
I would rather use free programs like Avast or Microsoft Security Essentials than to use a free subscription to McAfee. Their product sucks, and they're useless at a personal level. I think at an enterprise level, you will do your company more harm than good.
