McAfee All Access is a great way to protect multiple systems that you own without having to spend a lot of money. For quite a while, AV makers were forcing you to pay for every PC you wished to protect. For some of us, that got pretty expensive, pretty fast and it was a pain to have to find an appropriate version for OS X that mirrored the capabilities of the Windows software.
With McAfee All Access, you enter the supplied code, set up an account on their web site and can immediately get the freshest version available.nThis is a nice change from the usual model of security software where you are supplied with a disc that’s so far out of date that you have to go back and upgrade what you just installed. That makes the entire process much simpler and much less painful.
Once loaded, the software did a decent job staying out of the way, but I did notice significant CPU use while running the full scan. I’ve learned to schedule those so the system has time to chew through all of my files while I sleep rather than trying to compete with it while it’s working.
Overall, I like the new direction McAfee’s going with their AV software and I’ve protected all of my systems with it.
