Review by T Anderson
In the past I got a new PC and it came with a few weeks free of McAfee AntiVirus Plus at a discount price. I am a Norton guy on all my personal PCs. Most of my work environments in the past have been McAfee because it is cheaper. It was dog slow in the past, but I figured they would have got it right by now. WRONG. I was constantly turning off the active scan to speed up compiling and transferring files.
The product touted - This version of McAfee Internet Security was developed specifically to work with your Dell PC for maximum security, speed and seamless operation.
What a load of crap that turned out to be. After my third virus, the happily re-director being the last, I uninstalled McAfee, Bought and downloaded Norton. Virus gone and PC is running fast again. NEVER AGAIN WILL I GET SUCKERED INTO McAfee!!!nnI tried Microsoft’s free Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus software, but I ran into performance problems. It made the system hang while it updated.
Norton runs light on the system (it is not a resource hog) and has always come through when my boxes come under attack. The price for 10 licenses can’t be beat.
Norton is easy to install and configure. The help docs are great. I had to punch a hole in the firewall to remote to my server from my iPhone and had it done in 2 minutes.nBuying this software could save you hours of headaches trying to get your infected box back.
I have had to wipeout friend’s hard drives because their systems were so infected.
I am not using the Mac or iPhone products. I am using it on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1nnAll in all this is a great deal!!!!
