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.

I just got a cloud book with McAfee on it a few weeks ago. I had to take it off. This Norton package will be going on it.

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 1 license in a bit high. That is the reason for the 1 star ding.

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.

Buying 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 10nnA lot of people respond to my anti-virus reviews with comments about going with free open source options. The companies I deal with do not allow me to connect to their networks without a commercial brand.
