Portable storage devices can be infected in their travels, spreading malicious code from system to system. McAfee scans and blocks this portable payload of viruses, Trojans, and worms before it can wriggle into your PC and your network.
Many people get McAfee protection because they are already infected. To help you salvage your system, McAfee works to remove infections as our software installs.

"Complete worthless crap"
Version: McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2012
Pros
None whatsoever
Cons
Lags computer, causes windows explorer to freeze up. Internet explorers freezing up and lagging.
Summary
Everything was fine for the past two months until the recent update a few days ago. Since the version update my computer has been freezing up and lagging. I couldn't even open the windows explorer to view documents or pics without it freezing up. IE was freezing up. Mozilla took forever to open. Even Google chrome was laggy.
I spent the last few days trying to figure out what was wrong with my computer. Finally I uninstalled Mcafee and my computer went back to normal. Installed Avast and everything is running smoothly.
Worst thing is that I just purchased Mcafee only two months ago. Worthless crap. Thank you Mcafee for ripping me off. If I could give this software zero stars I would. -
"Okay when working, fails badly, very slow tech support"
Version: McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2012
Pros
It appears to do a good job when it is working
Cons
When something goes wrong, it goes so far wrong that there doesn't seem to be any way back; and tech support is 45 minutes to an hour waiting, 24/7
Summary
There must be something better. I'll be getting that "something" ASAP

"UNINSTALLING"
Version: McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2012
Pros
Decent amount of features.
Cons
I have had a plethora of issues with McAfee. It has made it a hassle to connect to the internet, wasted an enormous amount of CPU (slowing performance and corrupting my computer's hardware, effectively shortening the operating life), and is just not a very good program.
Summary
McAfee is often given out for free with new computers or as a cheap way for AT&T to attract customers (they offer a "security suite" complementary of using their less than desirable services). I am finally uninstalling this bloatware and trying the FREE Avast Antivirus which I hear is an exceptional security program.
Well, it catches what it can find...

"Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap!"
Version: McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2012
Pros
None. If you trust this program then you're stupid.
Cons
Useless; no in real-time protection.
Installing this antivirus is like saying to a virus
"Hey virus, come here! McAfee won't know you're here".Summary
Never download it. Never trust it. Uninstall it now!

"Got a trojan on Monday and McCafee was all but useless."
Version: McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2012
Pros
I've had this two years on two computers and no problems except: it can't tell time. I set my daily scan time for 8:30 am and it will scan whenever, 9 10 8:50, who knows. I gave up caring, it will scan but not on your time.
Cons
1. Company automatically registers you for auto renewal. Thus they charge your credit card automatically, 30 days before the licence expires. Thus the real costs your paying if a 11 month costs not a year protection like they advertise.
2. I understand the virus protection is only gauranteed for 30 days. My relattives just got hosed by McCafee and spent a fortune getting rid of a virus because McCafee basically told them too bad. It costs more to get a virus removed after 30 days. Might as well get a free version of something and save the dough.Summary
My license expires Aug 10,2012. I'm dumping them and going elsewhere. They jacked the price up double from last year, did the auto renewal which I never do and then said they would mail a refund check to me in 6 weeks. Took one second to charge my card, get my money and 6 weeks to refund me.
PS, the trojan horse I got on Monday, went around McCaffee like it wasn't there. My icon was gone, the program couldn't be opened and it was up to me to get rid of the virus which I did and it wasn't easy. -

"Makes internet crawl and disables Windows Firewall"
Version: McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2012
Pros
Aside from firewall issues, the program is spectacular.
Cons
A bug has existed for over two months and support refuses to provide a workaround. Simply search for "McAfee firewall slow internet" and extensive forum posts will pop up. The bug makes connecting to the internet a hassle while extensively using system resources. The only workaround is to disable net guard to access the internet, but system resources are still used and connection is severely limited (e.g., frequent timeouts, unable to stream video, etc.). Even worse, McAfee Firewall prevents turning on windows firewall even when McAfee is disabled!
Summary
POS avoid until actual solution is provided.

"Wouldn't install"
Version: McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2012
Pros
good reputation
Cons
Couldn't install because I had Norton. Wasn't going to remove Norton just to try McAfee
Summary
Never got to try it.

"Not just bad but dangerous!"
Version: McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2012
Pros
Absolutely none!
Cons
Ruined my Operation System. It knocked out a piece of my Windows OS and when I called support, not only would they NOT HELP, but were downright rude! I would advise strongly against getting involved with this company.
Summary
STAY AWAY!
