Average Rating: 
Rating: - Don't get this
Hated it!! I don't have enough room to describe where McAfee went wrong with this. I bought it, thinking that it was a program designed to work in the backgrounds and do basically do it's thing. Not true!! I had to make a decision about almost every little thing. I consider myself to be very computer literate (using one, that is)... but fixing/repairing/troubleshooting one is a whole different ballgame! For someone who doesn't really know what they're doing 'under the hood', this program can be dangerous (for the computer and the user). I switched to Norton Internet Security 2003 and am very happy. It blocks attacks, files spam (as per my direction), notifies me of potential attacks but does what it's supposed to do behind the scenes. It doesn't ask me if I want to do this or that with the Interface of whatever whatever... how should I know? I just want to use the darn computer, not repair it!
Rating: - Extremely difficult to configure
I've used Zone Alarm, Norton Internet Security and now [regretfully] McAfee Internet Security. McAfee Internet Security is cripled by its lack of information and capabilities. Norton's product is by far superior. The alert boxes nor activity log tell you the full details of the remote IP address or ports not anything about the local communication. This becomes important, because, you might be perfectly comfortable having Internet Explorer access a web site on port 80, but freak out if Internet Explorer was allowed to share you files with "web folders" on a different TCP/UDP port. In addition, data is displayed in hexadecimal format with no interpretation. Even as network professional, I don't have the binary format of IP packets memorized. My advice is to skip this product and go directly for Norton Internet Security.
Rating: - Caught Yaha virus, but apparently made PC instable
I bought this off the web when the "Yaha" virus somehow got through my Norton Antivirus and Internet Security suite, because the McAfee site had a "stinger" program to root out the "Yaha" virus. However, since downloading it on my Dell Pentium IV desktop running Windows XP, it has become instable, freezing up. Now, whether this is a McAfee problem, a Microsoft Problem, or a Netscape Problem (I started getting errors indicating Netscape 7.01 problems soon after installing McAfee Internet Security and updating Netscape to 7.01. Who knows where the fault lies, but McAfee seems to be part of the problem. Admittedly, if Windows XP was doing its job right as the operating system, it wouldn't allow this kind of thing, now matter how problematically applications might be coded. That said, the McAfee interface was more user friendly when installing, and made different degrees of access easier than Norton had. It also did appear to catch the Yaha virus when Norton apparently didn't, so it does appear to have some positive features, if only my PC wasn't unstable now.
