Version: McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009
Pros: Reliable and easy to install and use.
Reasonable support which somtimes lacks in understanding.Cons: McAfee does not support TIMED DOWNLOADS which can be very annoying when you want to use the PC and McAfee requires an update and takes over the machine with a reboot!
Summary: If you shop around it is priced about right.
Best deal is the 2 year subscription package.
Just install and forget! read more -

Summary: I suffered with this software for a year. Retired I like to do a quick morning sign in and spend a short time checking finances. This software is the leader in task manager for memory usage. read more
