1.0 out of 5 stars
Install woes and (non)Support negate value,
By
This review is from: McAfee Internet Security Suite V6.0 2004 - VirusScan, Firewall, Spamkiller, Privacy, Parental Controls (CD-ROM)
I bought McAfee Internet Security 7.0 to upgrade from version 6.0. The one year subscription on 6.0 had expired and was nagging me every few minutes to upgrade: $29.95 for 6.0 re-license or $49.95 for version 7.0. I went to the local retailer and found the new 7.0 version on the shelf for $10 less! You would think existing customers would get a break.
Installed it, but got Explorer Script error on registration. The product won't download current virus definitions without registration. Read FAQ's, no hits. Tried free online chat, where I get a support rep with a VERY "english" sounding name, but a limited grasp of the language. Stilted sentence structures and odd question syntax. "Please wait while I shall research your problem". "What is the difficulty you are experiencing?". Sounds like India to me. After an hour on the first call, the answer is Manually Un-install the old version, reboot, then reinstall the new. Must have read the MicroSoft technical guidebook. Ok, I ran through all the motions, hours later: same error. Later that day I try the Tech Suppport Online Chat again. Different name, same grammer. Net result: No luck. Still trying to register to complete install. Good Luck, you may need it.

Warning!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: McAfee Internet Security Suite V6.0 2004 - VirusScan, Firewall, Spamkiller, Privacy, Parental Controls (CD-ROM)
Make sure you uninstall your previous version of Mcafee if you have one. I had problems getting this thing to work so much so that I had to email Dell to tell me how to uninstall the complete Dell Mcafee Security suite previously installed. I had to uninstall and reinstall this new one twice because the virus scan wouldn't work and I kept getting an error message stating that some of the features of the security center had been unistalled or not installed properly.
Now I'm still having problems accessing Internet explorer. I can't get into my ISP email or into email for my college classes without getting an error message and gettig kicked out. This could be a memory problem as this security suite does take up a lot of disk space but what do I know I'm only a "web design" major. I don't know if it's neccessary to have some of the features like privacy and the spy software because you can download free spyware software that works just as good if not better. Does anyone out there have any solutions as to why Internet explorer is clashing with this security suite? Your advise would be greatly appreciated.

Installation Nightmare,
By jpbrock "blues fan" (Perrysburg, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: McAfee Internet Security Suite V6.0 2004 - VirusScan, Firewall, Spamkiller, Privacy, Parental Controls (CD-ROM)
I can't review this product on its technical merits for the simple reason that I was never able to get it to work! Over the past two weeks, at the direction of McAfee's online tech's, I have gone through multiple install-remove-reinstall cycles (Including several that required line-by-line manual editing of my system's registry key.),all to no avail. To make matters worse, when nothing worked McAfee's Tech's told that my only alternative was to seek help via McAfee's 800-number at a cost of $2.39 per minute or $39.00 per incident.
Many of the installation problems I encounetered during my ordeal were the result of conflicts with common Microsoft programs such as Internet Explorer, Outlook and Outlook Express, to name a few. While most of these conflicts were eventually resolved, the procedures necessary were laborious and required lengthy sessions on McAfee's internet chat help line. The one conflict that was never resolved,however, was the way Internet Security 6.0 handled Microsoft XP's multiple user accounts. On my computer each member of my family had their own accounts. I was the the administrator, and as such had the sole right to make setting changes. Even though McAfee theoretically had similar account provisions, changes made by the system administrator did not result in global changes. Consquently, users without administrative rights couldn't perform simple tasks such as accessing the internet without entering the administrator's password or having the administrator do it for them. In the end I gave up trying to resolve all of the above referenced installation problems and had to reinstall the rudimentary software provided by my ISP. As a result this may be the last McAfee product I ever buy.
