McAfee Internet Security 2005 7.0 [Old Version] review:1 stars (BUYER BEWARE) - It is one of the worst programs ever. First it will occupy your entire computer's memory and make your computer very slow and most of the programs will stop working, I am talking about legitimate programs, like Microsoft, adobe, etc, and other well known companies.
You don't need to download a virus; it is a virus by itself. You can never uninstall this product. After uninstalling it over and over it will keep on reappearing and running in the back ground doing the same dirty things as if it was never uninstalled.
One more thing, your email client will never work in the presences of this software. The bottom line, I have to delete and format my hard drive and install every thing again, from scratch, which took me about 2 days.
I already bought another internet security product but will never touch this company's products again...what a loss. 5 stars (I'm very pleased with the latest version! ) - I have used McAfee for 3 years. I had problems with the 2006 version of the McAfee Internet Suite & expected problems with the 2005. I had a hard time getting the 2006 version to install right. It also wouldn't let me compose & send emails from one of my email addresses. I'm very happy to say that when I installed this virus protection to my computer, everything works great. It was easy to install & I haven't had the first problem with it. I do not regret buying this program at all & will stick to having McAfee as my virus protector. 1 stars (Awful - can't pay me to get another McAfee product) - First, the program took so much room in the memory. Then, in order to make things work, I had to disable components. Then, finally being willing to just throw away the investment and buy something else, it won't uninstall! Spent 4 hours on the only free support - internet chat - after rebooting 6 times and having to restart support chat with someone else each time, I was "bumped up" to level 2 support, which I was told would be via e-mail... That was 2 weeks ago, and no word... I used the tutorial pages myself 4 times also, but still, it WON'T UNINSTALL!!! iT'S A VIRUS IN ITSELF. Only way to get rid of it is to reinstall the OS (I hope?). |
