I've been using MaAfee for years but the new version is a total waste. It loads so much junk that the computer slows down. Also every time you try to do something it has to take some action first which also slows it down. I ended up removing it from all 3 of my computers and installed AVG.

4.0 out of 5 stars McAfee Virus Scan, January 5, 2007

This product seems to do a good job of virus protection but the user interface is confusing. For example I haven't found an easy/quick way to disenable it when I'm installing new S/W. And, because I haven't bought all their other security products, I get constant popups telling me my computer is at risk.

2.0 out of 5 stars Extremely difficult menus, PC resources hog, not user friendly, July 30, 2007

I have been using McAfee for the past 5 years since I Symantec came up with such a lousy product that it almost had me reinstall my OS. I was happy with McAfee until this verion where they tosses all consideration for the user aside and decided they know best what to do with your computer.

Examples:
1. They pre-set the scheduled scan which is so difficult to stop. It takes over your computer and would not let you stop the scan in progress. Once you have stopped it, it is very difficult to figure out how to change the settings to not scan again.
2. Every time you need to do something in the software it will try to 'gather' the current security information. This takes a over 15 seconds and it very very annoying.
3. You can't do anything useful from the system tray icon. Would it have killed these guys to have a menu item to stop the current scan in progress?
4. When the automatic download of updates starts, it takes up so much of your computer resources and takes about 3 minutes to finish.
