Product Description:
McAfee VirusScan Home Edition technology stops viruses at all entry points to your PC - including e-mail, Internet downloads, shared disks, CD-ROMs, and synchronization with your PDA.

Amazon.com Review:
McAfee VirusScan 7.0 protects your PC against a wide range of viruses, Trojan horses, and other rogue programs. With so many viruses being transmitted by e-mail, you absolutely need an antivirus program to protect your PC and, more importantly, your data.

McAfee VirusScan 7.0 installs easily from the CD-ROM and immediately checks your PC for any viruses that may already have infected it. As soon as you connect to the Internet it downloads the latest updates to ensure you are up-to-date with all the newest virus signatures.

To enable it to work effectively, McAfee VirusScan 7.0 operates on many levels. The new Hostile Activity Watch Kernel (HAWK) constantly monitors your PC for viruslike activity and integrates well with many different e-mail clients. The VShield feature runs constantly in the background, checking files as you open them. Even if you choose to disable VShield, the program still protects Microsoft Office files by checking them before you open them.

Another common way hackers infect PCs is by using scripts in e-mails. McAfee VirusScan 7.0 works well here, too, by looking for suspicious behavior in scripts such as those trying to open, write, or delete files. Anything suspect is stopped immediately.

For users running Win 98, 98 SE, and Me only there is a Safe & Sound function that makes copies of your documents and keeps them safe in case they get damaged by data corruption or virus activity. Note that this does not work on Windows 2000 and XP.

Some of the latest viruses can stop antivirus programs from working properly once they have infected a machine. If you suspect this has occurred, you can boot your PC directly from the McAfee VirusScan 7.0 installation CD-ROM, ensuring a clean environment for it to work in. You can also create a boot floppy to do the same thing.

Like the other products in McAfee's security range, McAfee VirusScan 7.0 uses Instant Updater, which constantly checks for product updates and automatically downloads these when you are online. Of course, any antivirus product is only as good as its ability to stop viruses from infecting your system. Happily, McAfee VirusScan 7.0 has been given a 100% rating by Virus Bulletin (although this assumes you do keep your product up-to-date with Instant Updater).

McAfee VirusScan 7.0 is a worthy update, and existing users will appreciate the improved security this release offers. --Iain Laskey, Amazon.co.uk

- Stay Away!!!
The software is horrible and the support is terrible. I installed VScan 7.0 and the update function did not work. I did online chat with Mcafee and they told me it was becuase I had an older version that was interfering with the update. They gave me long instructions to delete files from the registry. I followed these instructions to the letter (even though I complained that this was very dangerous), and it corrupted my OS, and caused a crash. I spend hours on the phone with a Microsoft support rep ... Read More

- Buy McAfee and get pestered with their own promo pop-ups
Life with McAfee is hell. Eleven months after you buy the product, the software starts to generate pop-ups which advertise their promotions. These pop-ups are impossible to disable. Think of the worst spam you've ever had. This is worse. Don't touch this prodct.

- McAfee VirusScan and Firewall similar to shareware
I really regret discontinuing my Norton service in exchange for the cheaper McAfee. I'm encouraged to see the thoughtful comments of so many more sophisticated users echoing the same thoughts I have about this product. I find it very, very depressing to buy a retail product loaded with pop ups and "partner advistements" penetrating the fire wall. This has been a regretful experience couple with lots of frustration. Pay a few dollars more and stay away from this product.

- Avoid this junk at all cost !
Cons: You can't repair it, you can't remove it, and the tech support stinks.

Pros: It looks pretty and takes up lots of disk space. The CD disk makes for a nice dog toy and the box is good for small bits of rubish and perhaps as another dog toy.

Giving this a rating of one star is generous, infact I feel they should be giving me a few stars back in exchange for this worthless junk. Avoid this mess at all costs !!

- Awful company - avoid McAfee like the plague
Pros:

-It can detect most viruses and updates are available almost every day

- ... .

Cons:

- It won't always be able to delete/disinfect virus files that it detects

- Starting around a month before your update subscription ends, McAfee "Buy New Subscription" pop-ups appear, you click on the x to close and they disappear...... for 60 seconds. Then they reappear, you click on the x ..... a minute later it comes back. There are only two ways to stop ... Read More
