"Horrible product. As bad as malware"
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.

I agree. Might as well use a freebee. I just had a trojan that went around McCaffee, took the icon off my screen and would not let the program open and McAfee never knew it was there. What a waste.
