Customer Reviews of VirusScan Professional 8.0
Avoid this product if you enjoy reading English on your PC ! I just bought this software from Amazon and installed it this past weekend (5/15/04). At first, everything seemed fine. Then, this morning I was cleaning up the recycle bin, which is normally pretty straightforward, right? Well, McAfee prompted me to use it's 'shredder' utility. I thought 'why not?' ... and when the machine rebooted ... I could not read a thing. It apparently changed the system language on my machine. I've never had anything this ridiculous happen before. I've asked Amazon if I can return the software, but no matter what happens ... I will NEVER buy another McAfee product again. What garbage!!! I should've listened to the other reviews here, but I guess I learned the hard way.
Works Great - Super buy
I have installed and used 8.0 on two machines for several weeks now. Like all other programs you need to update it online after installation. It is working fine and no problems that some other reviews have shown. The quick clean lite portion works real well in getting old files out.
This box allows the user to put it on 2 seperate machines(...) WoW what a deal.
Great Product, Show Stopper Bug!
Been using Mcafee Virusscanners since almost day one of the product. There have been ups and downs with each one, and with v8.0 it is a big "down."
v7.03 was an excellent product. Ran great, no bugs. Got me through the horrors of MyDoom and several other attempted attacks but not one virus could find its way through the scanner.
v8.0 however is a different beast. The interface is actually very nice. At first it seems to be missing many of the features in v7.03 interface, but all of them are really there in one form or another, except the part that tells you how up-to-date (in days) your virus definitions are. I really was enjoying the new interface in v8.0.
...then the Big Bug!
The problem is the show stopping bug. Many users, including myself (on two seperate computers), are reporting to Mcafee through their forum that we can not send out emails with attachments over 500K. The email program timesout and it looks like an email server problem. Yet, it is Virusscan v8.0 that is the problem. Mcafee has confirmed this bug, since Oct 2003, yet they have not issued a patch for it in the past 6 months. They say one is coming in v8.1 but for those of us (and there are many) with the problem, the product becomes pretty much worthless.
I am very disappoint at the response rate in issuing a fix, and I do not recommend v8.0 until I see this "coming" patch. For now I have gone back to v7.03.
Hold off on buying this product until they patch it. If it fixes this issue as promised, I then will grant the product 5-stars.
