So far, so good with the McAfee All Access virus protection… Installation was very simple on my PC. You don’t need a CD-ROM, just the code that comes with this product. You simply go to the McAfee website and enter the code and you’re ready to start downloading. Installation should be easy on a phone or tablet, but it isn’t that simple. McAfee asks for an email address for the tablet or a phone number for the phone. It then emails you a link with a code to install the software on a tablet or sends a text link to your phone. The issue is that neither of these links work. I kept getting errors when using the links provided by McAfee. I was able to get around this problem by logging in to McAfee and then downloading the software to my Android tablet from there. I wasn’t able to install the software on my phone since the operating system (Meego) is not supported. However, I wasn’t upset about this since the software doesn’t claim to work with Meego.

On my Android tablet (running ICS), the protection software seems to run quietly. I haven’t noticed any hang ups due to the software. On my PC, I get a fair number of warnings about ads on certain sites, which end up slowing down my computer. So far, it hasn’t been too frustrating and I feel more comfortable knowing that I have software protecting my computer. I had been using Norton, but that expired. McAfee seems to work about the same, with a plus being I could tell McAfee not to install the idiot parental controls.

Overall, I am satisfied with this software. I am glad to have software for my tablet and knowing my PC is protected.
