Mcafee Antivirus 2008 Plus Review Part 3

[12345shre]

mcafee rocks! i love it!

Kidding! It sucks big balls!

[darknessthehedgehog3]

hay if i search for something sometimes that stop zilla web search pops up dose that mean anything bad i had that program on my computer before

but i took it off knowing everyone saying its a virus is there a part of it still in my computer

[LatviaRullz1]

All anti viruses are better than McaFee!!!

P.S here my anti virus top 5 1)Kaspersky 2)Avira 3)Avast 4)eset(NOD32)+norton 5)AVG

[doom3134]

Redirection to stopzilla, stopzilla claims to be legit, and even had tv commercials, but is a rogue on it's own.

[vaughn2sexy4uyo]

this is why I have a Mac. Good job overall on Mcafee though.

[rahmanroni]

lol, find a fling

[jokeakakaaaaaaaaaaaa]

norton internet security 2010 is the best! its so light

[deadlyhydra]

how nice i heared thats the best antivirus there is....not XD

[munchyful]

Avira Antivirus 9 rocks!

[jokeakakaaaaaaaaaaaa]

is this a good thing to do? i was using mcafee internet security 2009 and then my subscription ended. i m now using norton internet security 2009, was that a bad move or a good move?

[Dexter7724]

Norton is a RAM hogger

[jokeakakaaaaaaaaaaaa]

well... i have done my research and to tell you the truth, norton internet 2010 is really really light on your system resources

[Dexter7724]

im talking about 2009

[jokeakakaaaaaaaaaaaa]

ok then... from my point of view, i believe that norton internet security 2009 is very light. Why? its because i used it then upgraded to the 2010 version. Its so light on system resources though.

what anti virus software do you use?

[Dexter7724]

Well I have a heck of a lot of PCs but the main Antivirus is AVG

[jokeakakaaaaaaaaaaaa]

do you find it slow by any chance? On my vista laptop, i use norton internet security 2010 and AVG linkscanner.

[Dexter7724]

No I dont but I heard that Norton ans AVG dont go well together

[jokeakakaaaaaaaaaaaa]

really? norton and AVG dont go together? where did you hear that? Norton internet security 2010 has this feature call norton site safety- it places a safety rating on each link you press in google. Its like mcafee site advisor.

I downloaded avg link scanner for extra protection. You tell me what you think

[Dexter7724]

Well somtimes if u have 2 or more anti virus together that dont go together they try to remove each other as spyware

[jokeakakaaaaaaaaaaaa]

i havent experienced any problems. The AVG linkscanner isnt really an antivirus software. It said that you could use it with other anti virus software. But you are right, never use two anti virus software on a computer

[moneykidz1]

Avg LinkScanner Sucks.

[jokeakakaaaaaaaaaaaa]

if you say AVG linkscanner sucks, is there another alternative? if so, please tell

[KingNikoJr]

i just had mcafee and when i saw this video i quickly uninstalled mcafee and installed microsft security extancials its better i wasted $90 bucks for no protection

[ebildude123]

3 words= McAfee Sucks Dicks

lol!!!

[zonemad96]

mcafee sucks simply put

[burgandyblood]

McAfee SUCKS and it costs a ton and now I can't uninstall it.

[moneykidz1]

Those Links You Tested Are Less Than A Week Old.McAfee Is Better Than Kaspersky And Norton Combined!

[hawke123]

No.

[moneykidz1]

No?

[hawke123]

McAfee is most certainly not better than Kaspersky.

[moneykidz1]

Norton and G-Data are.

[hawke123]

Doubt it since every sit I've checked, AV software like Avira, Avast, and Kaspersky are always top ranked. Norton is always below them and no mention ever of G-Data.

[moneykidz1]

Go to the pcworld website and search top standalone antivirus. I don't see Avast or Avira. hmmmm....

[hawke123]

Link?

[moneykidz1]

pcworld . com /reviews/collection/1986/top_p­aid_antivirus_2010.html

[hawke123]

Guess this site is the odd ball since everywhere else I go Kaspersky, Avast, and Avira are top rated in testing and by personal experience.

[moneykidz1]

What are you talking about? I haven't seen Avast or Avira make tops since 2006. LOL.

[hawke123]

I don't know which sites you've been looking at then. Do you follow this youtube channel? If you do then I don't see why there is a disagreement between us.

[chesocrafy]

i use norton 360 is this better then macafee

[vistawizard]

because some people are stupid.

[jokeakakaaaaaaaaaaaa]

fair enough

[cyberbobpl]

true! Mcafee sucks:

- slow scanning

- low detection rate

- heavy on resources

[timmieboy98]

Guys I have McAfree Total Protection 2009 and Malwarebytes Anti Malware ( registerd)

Is my comp good protected? I know he says Kaspersky is good, but I Buyed McAfee and i'm no sure to spend money again ,, ..

Thx

[doom3134]

get a refund on mcafee, and keep malwarebytes anti malware, mcafee is what slows your computer down.

[timmieboy98]

Uhhm, only Malwarebytes?

Thats good enough?

[sgtcartman16]

TRUE DAT.. MCAFFE SUCKS ASS

[Jonza121]

Avast 9 free + Comodo firewall (D+) =

=)

[tazss159]

did it remove vundo

[christianisapro]

kaspersky is much better than Mcafee! :)

[kantagara]

mcafee i peace of crap stay out of it ;)

[Huntu00]

i use mcafee antivirus with fire wall, but mcafee firewall is dissabled becouse i use lavasoft firewall instead, other progs with lavasoft and mcafee is Ad-Aware anniversary pro (that also have build in ad-watch live in it), then i have lavasoft registry tuner that have helped on computer performans.

Also i have ccleaner and atf - cleaner =p

never had problems with my computer.

[boyberry94]

if you have more than one real time antivirus protection then its a risk.

if you have two firewallls its a risk (they;ll own each other and windows will never restart)

[MightyWorship]

once a virus has installed in ur pc if u get the virus protection after it will normaly not find the virus that has been in for ages, it has embeded in ur pc to deeply to be removed so get virus protection for ur pc the day you buy it so then you will be all right :-)

I have McAfee, dont get it get something like bull guard or kaspersky

my mate has bull guard and his pc is 1year+6months

It runs like new!

[kochkochkoch]

Is Mcafee better then OneCare?

[masteroffear95]

trnd micro is better

[agentnonoh]

trend micro

[valkyriefrost]

A little test conducted showed that McAfee was unable to detect both Bat.NewHost and Trojan-Clicker(dot)CM, both of which were detected by BitDefender though.

[spiritkiller44]

hey i use mcafee you have to turn on malware protection,firewall, oh and you have a site blocker and a pop up blocker add and msg me for details :)

[spiritkiller44]

i have mcafee too :D!

[watdoyawant]

I actually agree with Vb,

Although sometoimes Things can Fall throughs

And i think i may have a virus.cause i get an error report everytime i loggin With dr Watson debugger which dose not co-exsist on my computer And i go This website called aden2 something something, But blocks it.:S

[VbSurgePaintball]

honestly my acafee is really good.. i really like it but i guess its just your opinion.. i know for a fact its better than norton.. that security freaking sucks

[AliliPrince]

Actually norton is better than mcafee

[ComputerHelpGuy1]

I agree

[tj5659]

Yea nortons firewall is very good

[isleofwightinsider]

its shit so that goes to show how full of shit you are fat boy

[thepredatorwinner]

@AliliPrince of course it's better

[plush18]

oh wow i do apresiate u have this video omg lol i just installed the dammed mcafee no just took forever to install i have a trojan and adware im still installing hope helps a little but after ur review omg good thing i didnt paid for it

[studman55863]

I had the same problem with the trojan downloaders, it wouldnt ever catch it

[roneast9000]

lmao...be honest...MCAFEE SUCKS!!!! ( still use it cuz i got a subscription goin till march)

[ComputerGeek27]

ok you say it does nto work very well but i think you out to do these reviews you otta just have at leat 2 malware programs instead of like 100!!

[blondebo5]

Well you do know 2 malware programs lead to 35and then 89 and then 200. many antiviruses don't do a good job at preventing like mcafee and avg. avast does an ok job at preventing but avira is awsome in both prevention and removing. Also mcafee came with a free trial on my computer and I thought it sucked. I wonder why my isp mentions you get mcafee for free if you sign up for their isp. Is macafee realy that desperate. Avg and avast are more popular than mcafee and I don't see thier adds on tv.

[bestSVMS]

it might be better at preventing stuff from being installed and not removing it

i have mcafee and i dont have any problems

i also run threatfire 3.5 and windows defender and they have never warned me about anything bad

i wonder how you get so much crud on your computer

tell me what you think about my setup

i might also run avast home- do you think it will use too much cpu and ram?

thanks

[mrizos]

You should only ever use 1 real-time virus scanner.

[bestSVMS]

windows defender is anti spyware

i have heard that you should run multible antispyware

and based on your review that mcafee sucks

i need to run more that 1

threatfire was desinged to be run with other programs

and avast does not have real time scanner

[kochkochkoch]

yes it does

[ninja480]

hate to call you out on this after the re review of nod32 . but honestly i think that it was getting rid of everything and when you said it froze i think if you would have gave it 5 or 6 mins it would have cleaned the infections i think by just turning it off . you stoped it from cleaning and left the infections. ive used mcafee in the past . and I know it hsould have cleaned the rogue stuff . no offence mrizos

[mrizos]

see the blog...remove-malware . com

[ninja480]

ok went to your site only thing I could find about mcafee was the videos on youtube ... ?

[kezkek]

How about a review of Panda 2009 who will be publish soon?

[mrizos]

I was supposed to upload the panda review today, but had to go on vacation early

[spawnhell809334]

i saw that when you had those sites open the mcafee site advisor was coated green meaning the sites are safe ... i guess those sites dont contain malware but they are websites thrown up by adaware

[mrizos]

Yeah, it's really sad that Adwords doesn't investigate these sites a little bit better. I see tons of paid adverts for fake av programs.

[g33ky898]

Hey By the way, check BitDefender. I want to see if it is good or not because some reviewers says its good. Also try F-sercure =)

[g33ky898]

I agree McAfee is sucky.

[emperordarius]

"Sucky" perfect for describing McDonalds lol hahahhaha

[Rafe078]

dam...McAfee came with my computer, so i didnt really have much choice, but better than nothing i suppose?

[kochkochkoch]

better then nothing, but I thing you should install Avira, Comodo Firewall Pro, MalwareBytes and SUPERantispyware.

[crazygansta305]

r u an idiot running more than 1 is a security risk

[kochkochkoch]

rofl? YOU are an idiot, MalwareBytes and SUPERAntiSpyware doesn't conflict, Comodo is a firewall, and Avira is an antivirus.

[DataX2]

i never really liked mcafee

i have tryed few times but no good for me

[zordon43]

Thanks for doing this! How about reviewing: Twister antivirus, Spysweeper with antivirus, Drivesentry, or Online Armor with antivirus? These are all highly rated.

[mrizos]

yeah, it's really crazy that most of these applications can't seem to detect rogues or adware

[nintendogamer113]

Well that was cool, one of my friends told me the Mcafee's latest build was acting like rouge anti malware.
