Works, but is difficult to use and is restrictive
By A normal person
I bought this software to install on an older AMD athelon Windows XP machine instead of renewing my expired Norton subscription. My other PC has the latest Norton software installed. I wanted to see what the real differences are between these two companies. They both work equally well and I have had no problems with either causing my machines to run slow. I like some of the features offered in this package, such as the ability to track an attack using traceroute. However, I find it difficult to get to some of these features and the pop up blocker is overly restrictive. I have to manually add web sites that I want to allow pop ups (including opening a new browser window). I have to search hard for the option to exclude pop up web sites from the filter list as it is burried deep in the options. Other times I’ve had to disable the privacy software to get work done on a few web sites for similar reasons as well. I find it odd that I have to enter two passwords to enable the privacy features once they have been disabled. These are nitpicks though. The software works and give me really good control over what I allow onto my machine, if not too much control. My preference and recommendation to friends is to choose Norton. I find it much easier to work with. Mcafee did not pass my user friendly test for people who are not computer experts. This is why I give 3 stars for the software.

Beautiful user interface; Plagued with incompatibility probs
By __Alessandro__
In this day and age, we all need a little more security, especially online. A typical computer user, whether using dial-up or especially an always-on direct internet connection, should have antivirus software, spyware protection and firewall defense at a bare minimum. For those who enjoy the perks of online banking and commerce, it would be nice to have some kind of privacy protection. And anyone who’s anyone with an e-mail address has wished that SOMETHING could be done to help protect against e-mail spam.
