 Buy it here, do NOT renew with McAfee
By morbius2k10
I bought a 3-license version of this in 2011, when my subscription was almost up (30 days left), the application told me so and directed me to renew on the McAfee website. DO NOT DO THIS!!! Once there, I saw the renewal would be $50, when I asked their customer service, they told me that was actually for only 1 PC, the other two would be additional $30, so $80 to renew a product I bought initially with 1 year subscription for $20 on sale at a local store. While on the phone with them, I pulled up Amazon and found this product. The same thing I bought in 2011, but the 2012 version, 3-license included, 1 year subscription included, for much, much less. I asked McAfee if they price match and the woman on the other end told me in broken english that I should not trust any web site other than theirs to buy from. I told her Amazon is well known, she said the only way it would work is if I bought it from them. I hung up, bought this one, received it in about 3 days, went to install it and it just told me to type the new product key. Then it added a year to my original subscription and that was that for all 3 machines, saving about $60 over renewing. I highly reccommend doing this each year instead, much better deal.

 Whole New Interface
By R. L. Miles
McAfee’s 2012 has an Anti-bot Protection feature, which blocks stealthy botnet software by blocking attempts to connect your computer to web addresses of criminals. The purpose is to prevent computers from sending user’s personal information to web-based crime networks.
Another new feature is real-time scanning of USB and other external removable drives to protect spreading viruses, Trojan horses and other malicious code.
Real-Time Safeguards determine the risk of suspicious actions or processes in efforts to protect users from cybercriminals.
Scans and software updates can be scheduled during downtime so disruptions are minimized. Another feature to speed up your system is QuickClean, which tunes-up the system by removing junk files, unused applications, and cached browser files.
Overall, I think it’s a really good program. One downside is that the initial system scan takes a long time and the installation of the program is a bit of a bear.

 Antivirus that does the job but slows down my system
By Kathleen San Martino
I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with Windows Vista SP2 installed. McAffee Antivirus Plus 2012 took 20 minutes to install. Even though I unchecked “send anonymous usage info” during installation, I still find my system slows down a lot with this AntiVirus software loaded.
I had to reboot twice after the installation because my system was at 100% CPU. I also was unable to get to my gmail account with the SiteAdvisor (for the web) loaded even though I put the website address in as a trusted site. Instead I decided to disable the add-ons for the browser.
After my 2nd reboot, I decided to wait about 6 minutes for my system to fully boot up and McAfee to load in the system tray before I surfed the web or used any program. Once I did that, the residual slowness has been minimal. However, having to wait this long to boot up so that the CPU doesn’t go to 100% is annoying.
I always found that McAfee antivirus works and this 2012 version is no exception. In addition, this version also scans external USB drives. Overall, I feel it is an acceptable antivirus program but due to the slowness I am experiencing on my system, I have to rate this three stars. I will update my review if I experience any further problems or successes.
