Version: McAfee VirusScan Plus 2007
"Underwhelming way to slow down your computer"
Pros: Purchased for $20 and sold it for $25.
Cons: Everything goes through the redesigned McAfee Security Center, which is still horrible.
Antispyware is built into VirusScan, Firewall is dumbed-down... these two components created nearly 20 services running that consume about 125-130MB in memory and severely hinder boot-up and shut-down times, along with noticeable program start-up delays.
Installation automatically turned on my Windows Updates (I had them disabled) and Microsoft started pushing about 50MB of updates my way.
The antispyware service eats 100% CPU during the times it kicks in.
Unfortunately McAfee, Norton, ZoneAlarm and PC-Cillin are all trying to be the end-all Swiss Army knife of security and all of them put a serious hit on performance. For reference, my system is well-maintained with a 3GHz processor and 1GB of RAM.
