Customer Reviews of McAfee VirusScan 2005 9.0
Super! McAfee is BACK! I'm a Norton user, have been since 2000. Studies were posted showing this was a better product. Next Windows XP had problems with McAfee and Norton beat them to the contract, developing a certified product first. HOWEVER, Norton is now the slacker. While on top, sucking up the money of millions, Norton is turning it's attention to other things. I love McAfee, now. Norton AntiVirus 2003 & 2004 will not catch the W32Spybot. Norton Internet Secrutiy will slow down your network, not allow you to EVER turn off Norton Internet Security, and cannot be uninstalled (must rip it out of the registry). In effect they take over your PC like NetZero, AOL, and much like a trojan. When I bought McAfee 9.0 2005 to replace Norton 2004 it caught the following: <
>- (2) Trojans: Exploit MhtRedir.gen <
>- (1) Trojan: Exploit CodeBase.gen <
>- (1) Virus: EICAR test file <
>Also, McAfee is very price considerate to their coupon people(...). I don't know what took them (4) years, but they are back in my book. <

Rebate woes
I thought about going on with a tirade about how McAfee offers rebates on their products that never arrive. But too many people have beaten me to the punch. There are whole websites devoted to people who spent six months trying to get a promised rebate from them. My story is not at all original, I bought the product and carefully included everything the rebate asked for, mailed the whole shebang in and waited...and waited...and waited and FINALLY received a letter in reply saying that my claim was rejected because of missing form xxx. "I'll have to take your word on that boys as you kept all the forms that I sent to yourselves instead of returning them with this note!!"
<
>I could have fought them over this but why bother it's only $20 and I have no leverage.
<
>Instead I'll just have to content my self with this little tirade...Oh and perhaps post a link to a company that lets you download a *FREE VERSION** of their commercial anti-virus software. [...]

At least it works this time
I had given up McAfee back with Version 7.0 when I could not get it to work and received -- let's say less than adequate support. I went to Norton Antivirus & Personal Firewall with version 2004 when my OEM installed McAfee on my new desktop and OEM Norton on my laptop were ready to be upgraded.

>The Norton software worked quite well for about 7 months. When I downloaded the updates around the first of Feb 05 from Symantec, I could not stop my laptop from going to the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). After completely giving up on being able to get the Symantec to run on my laptop, I decided to give the McAfee Antivirus 2005 9.0 a try. At least it works and does not crash my system (yet). It does lack some of the intelligence of the Norton product. The Norton product had a nice feature to create rules to help recognize activities on the laptop that were not malicious. This kept it from constantly stopping or flagging activities that were ok. The McAfee lacks this degree of intelligence.

>But, like I said, it runs. Which is far more than I can say for the 2/05 updates to Symantec's Norton products.

<
>I may give my Norton a try again in a month or two to see if Symantec has fixed the problems. But I will not hold my breath.

>I would prefer to have Microsoft get into the Antivirus and robust firewall arena so that we can have a product that we can at least have more confidence in its ability to play nice with the Windows kernal.
