 OMG-what happended??? July 10, 2008
It is difficult to determine how effective this product isin the short term as far as keeping my computer "healthy:, as stated. BUT it is not difficult to see how this has slowed down my computer. I cannot believe how much time is wasted. There are frequent McAfee downloads, many of which prevent simultaneous work on the computer. I am not happy to be in the middle of something and have to wait for a current download to complete itself. I am removing this from my computer!
Not so much a good deal.. July 10, 2008

I waited for a bit to install this program because 'Thankfully' my subscription to Norton was soon running out. That was a nightmare. I was hoping this would be an easy, and certainly better, alternative.
However, I ran into problems getting this program to load onto my computer. After multiple failed attempts, I decided to check out the reviews. (I had not read them online since I got this through the Vine program and having used McAfee on my computer-before-this-one and having been pleased with it, I was confident in McAfee). Better late than never to check what others had to say I guess.
After I read how many users complained about their computers being slowed down, I was just as happy not to have had the installation work. Slowing down and interfering with your programs is a real problem, just one of many, with Norton. Also, Norton has a very ineffective customer service program, and from reading the reviews, this McAfee program would not have been an improvement.
I definitely did not want to sign up for an automatic deduction, since I just had a problem getting my a/d with Norton cancelled.
So finally I gave up on trying to load this McAfee program and decided to sign up with a competing online product and have had no problems.
I know, I know, this wasn't really a proper review of this particular product, more like a review of the reviews of this product. Since I was eager and happy to have this McAfee program and then couldn't get it to load anyway, I guess that really should have been the end of my review. Unfortunately couldn't resist adding a few more details.
AV(ery)G(lad) computer-user to no longer have McAfee or Norton.
 Finally Useful Protection July 1, 2008
McAfee Total Protection is the easy it program to use to keep your computer safe from viruses and a few more things. It checks every website before you can access it. If there is some kind of suspicious activity, it will not allow you to proceed. However, you have the options of turning off the protection, so that you can go ahead to the site.
I've had no problem with this program whatsoever, and this is coming from a person who is not very computer savvy. But you don't have to be computer savvy to realize that the computer is running as it should and not taking forever to navigate different sites.
The other thing really great about this program is the fact you are allowed to protect three computers with the one cd.
I recommend McAfee Total Protection 2008 to everyone who frequents the internet or even a person who simply receives plenty of emails. It will protect your computer from SPAM and viruses coming through your various email contacts.
 Essential June 29, 2008
McAfee Total Protection with Site Advisor Plus provides a lot of value to home PC users. At an affordable cost, you can protect and manage up to 3 PCs with an impressive array of preventative maintenance and network administration tools. Importantly, you gain the peace of mind knowing that the software you are using is from McAfee, who for years has been recognized as a leader in security software solutions for business.
There are 12 main components to the product. These include software to help stop viruses, hackers, spyware and junk email. System administration tools include maintenance, file backup and restoration as well as tools for network configuration, file sharing and printing. Using an Internet connection, the software is continuously refreshed with updates so that you are protected from the latest threats.
I especially like the Site Advisor Plus feature which allows you to add a button to your browser's toolbar. When visiting a website, you can easily obtain a detailed status report of the site. The report includes an analysis of download tests for adware, spyware and other potential troublesome software; the number of emails you might expect to receive per month if you opt-in to a mail list; annoyances such as excessive use of popups; a schematic displaying the online affiliations of the site; and reviewer comments about the site. This nifty tool is immensely valuable when visiting a website for the first time and deciding how you might want to interact with the site, if at all.
The installation process was easy using a PC running MS Vista. I have since used McAfee to automate the process of backing up files to an external drive; the security updates are downloading automatically; and I frequently tuen to the Site Advisor tool for insight. In my opinion, the availability of these essential services in an easy-to-use package can save any home computer user the time and hassle of system maintenance, and consequently improve the home PC ownership experience.
I highly recommend this essential product to everyone.
Pleased June 28, 2008
I installed this on my laptop a few days ago and so far have been very pleased with the program. I haven't used McAfee products in the past, so this is great.
I'm not technical, so will let someone else review that side, I just know it does what I want it to do.
