1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY ANY MCAFEE PRODUCT, May 7, 2007

By	Sam M. Tannenbaum "Sam" (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is less a review for Total Protection 2007, and more a review of Mcafee's customer service support, which obviously extends to all of their products.

I used a Mcafee product for about six weeks with no problems. One day, I had a technical issue. It was then that I discovered that Mcafee's technical support and customer service departments are shamefully unprepared to assist customers.

- I had to pay three dollars a minute to use the technical support telephone number. Of the seven minutes I was on that call, I was on hold for more than half the time (still being charged). When the technician finally emailed me instructions to resolve my technical issue, I quickly discovered he had sent me instructions for an issue completely unrelated to mine. In essence, I spent 21 dollars on hold music. (seven minutes)

- Mcafee has an online technician chat option for those people who do not wish to pay for technical support. My experience was VERY slow, I was frequently disconnected, and most importantly, I chatted with EIGHT different technicians (I cut-and-pasted all the chat sessions), and none of them was able to provide me with information that was even remotely relevant to my problem. They were all using standard cut-and-paste respponses that did not address my difficulty. (four hours)

- I studied the Help Tree, FAQ, and Help Index sections on the Mcafee website, to no avail (one hour)

- I finally called the customer service support line (it's NOT a toll-free number), explained that I wanted a product refund, and was told I would be contacted within 48 hours. When I wasn't, I called and began an almost indescribably difficult process of getting my refund:

- conversations with TEN different customer service representatives
- being put on hold for one hour on TWO separate occasions, having to finally hang up and call back
- being cut off twice
- in all, spending FOUR HOURS on the phone

The worst part is that my issue STILL isn't resolved. Since I'm demanding that I be reimbursed the money I spent on calling technical support, and that I be compensated for all the personal time and phone time I have invested, I'm STILL dealing with them.

This is a shameful, disgustingly low level of customer support. It's a shockingly unethical way to do business, and it robs the product owner of any peace-of-mind. We buy internet security and antivirus software for peace-of-mind. But this horrible experience has utterly robbed me of it.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY ANY SOFTWARE PUBLISHED BY MCAFEE.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible!!, November 13, 2006

By	Landlord - See all my reviews

I have been a Mcafee user for the past five years. Decided to purchase this product based on past experience. Once I installed it, the problems began. Email took at least 10 min. to open up and my computer's performance became nonexistant. Uninstalled it and everything was normal again. Reinstalled it - same problems. Decided to go to McAfee's website to see if there was a patch or something. Nothing at first and then went further into the online forums. Then I realized that myself and about 5,000 other people are having this same problem right now. Check it out for yourself. Trust me - there's better ways to waste 50 bucks.
