McAfee Internet Security

Virenscanner

McAfee Internet Security offers relative good Results which are comparable with other Security Suites. This suite could use improvements with its behavioral analysis as well as with its recognition of web exploits. Due to these unusual weaknesses this suite’s rating is rather average.

A nervous, hectic software program that causes more paranoia that it solves problems.

Used to be a good program. Now, I donâ??t want to use it anymore because it drives me nuts, much too slow. Overall slow while scaning for viruses.
