Review by Bryan Carey

Antivirus is an important component of any operating system and its criticalness continues to grow in importance as more and more individuals find ways to infect computers, deliver spam, and otherwise do harm to the computers of others. I have used many antivirus software products and one that I continue to return to is McAfee. This latest version, McAfee Antivirus 2012 for 3 Users, is as good as ever, and I feel very confident that it will protect my information from harm.

McAfee Antivirus 2012 allows for loading on up to three different pc’s for a single price and this makes it very useful for those who have pc’s scattered around the house and do not want to invest in a separate antivirus purchase for each. Loading is easy and I like that McAfee Antivirus 2012 operates in the background, keeping your computer safe and without slowing down your processes. If you load a CD or anything else, it automatically scans and lets you know the coast is clear and when you schedule a nightly scan, it will tell you later if the scan didn’t complete. These protections give me a safe, secure feeling and I can go about my day using my pc without worry.

McAfee Antivirus 2012 is great for fighting internet battles against viruses, spyware, and the like. If I had to find one small fault, it would be with the limitation with the three installations. If you don’t install on three computers, you cannot install the remaining ones and expect it to last a full year. The countdown begins with the first install. So, if I install one on May 1, another on June 1, and a third pc on July 1, all three will reach their expiration on May 1. This is a small annoyance, but it really doesn’t matter too much for me because I tend to load the antivirus on all three pc’s at once anyway.

Virus protection is very important and McAfee Antivirus 2012 is one of the better products available for this purpose. It is much more intuitive than other antivirus products- so much so that a grade school age child could figure it out. It works the way an antivirus product should without slowing down your computer or causing any problems and it earns an enthusiastic recommendation.
