McAfee Total Protection 3 User 2010 Review

The McAfee product allowed my computer to become infected with Antivirus System Pro, a virus that almost disables its host. A scan of my hard drive using McAfee antivirus failed to find the spyware. I went to McAfee Customer Support online chat. I chatted with someone in India. At his request, I provided details about my system and described the problem. He could not help, but suggested that I contact paid Technical Support. He said that they could remotely take control of my computer and remove the spyware. The charge is $89.95, guaranteed.
I declined the offer. I used Windows XP to restore my computer to the state that it had been the day before the infection. It took me about 15 minutes and removed the spyware completely.
I purchased the McAfee internet firewall and virus protection to prevent infections like this one. When the McAfee program failed, Customer Support would have had me pay $89.95 to remove the virus. No wonder the price of McAfee has come down so dramatically this year. They have a new unseen and unexpected revenue source. They just need to reel you in with the new low price and then stick you with the additional price of Customer Support.

McAfee Total Protection 2011 Review

Sure it works, but McAfee doesn't understand that McAfee is not exempt from the rules that its software enforces. They say they block pop-ups and adware. What they don't say is that they block all pop-ups EXCEPT POP-UPS THAT THIS PROGRAM GIVES YOU, ADVERTISING McAFEE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES!
If you install this, you will get:
1) Incessant pop-ups on your computer desktop asking you if you want to buy additional products or subscriptions from McAfee. Conveniently, McAfee Total Protection can't stop these pop-ups -- and McAfee support staff don't seem to understand why this is a problem. These McAfee pop-ups appear on your desktop and not in your browser, so any browser settings do not prevent them appearing. (The current round of ads is urging me to renew my anti-virus subscription, even though my current subscription doesn't expire for another 8 months.)
2) An entry called "McAfee" in the top-most level of your Start menu that you cannot move or remove. If you try, it will reappear within hours. Nice bit of advertising real estate, that, for it to say "McAfee" in the top level of your Start menu.
3) A desktop "McAfee" icon that reappears if you remove it. (There is a way to stop this particular annoyance, but you have to dig through the McAfee website for instructions, and following them requires you to tinker with your registry.)If you write to McAfee and tell them that their ads are not welcome on your computer, you may eventually get the following response as I did from one of their brilliant tech support people:
"It is really unfortunate that your computer got infected by virus when McAfee was installed. I suggest you to try some of the ?Free Virus Removal Solutions? before contacting our technician through paid service. Please visit the below link which will provide detailed information about our Virus Removal Services." In other words, install McAfee, get McAfee ads, complain to McAfee, get an offer from McAfee to sell you a service to remove the "virus" that "your computer got ... when McAfee was installed."So good software, EVIL COMPANY. Buy something else, as I will certainly be doing. Even if this one's free after rebate, it's still coming to you at a price.ADDENDUM: After suffering through McAfee's advertisements for so long, I finally gave up on them fixing the problem and uninstalled McAfee in favor of NORTON INTERNET SECURITY 2011 (Amazon link: Norton Internet Security 2011 - 1 User/3 Pc). This was an excellent move. Not only does Norton not misbehave with its own advertisements (it even has an explicit setting to turn off "Special Offer Notification") and icon litter, but it has a much more-intuitive interface, it seems smarter in figuring out what the user needs without having to ask, and it even caught a trojan-infected file on its first scan that had been on my hard drive through 4 years of supposed McAfee protection. See my review for Norton Internet Security 2011 - 1 User/3 Pc, and please consider your purchase carefully.
