 Took control of my computer and slowed it down; non-existent customer service November 12, 2006

The first unpleasant surprise was that McAfee Internet Security Suite blocked several web pages which I absolutely wanted to open. I tried to make the program understand that those web pages were OK and I wanted to visit them. Well, I couldn't find a way of doing that. I also discovered that web browsing had gotten much slower than usual. Then I wanted to disable popup blocking. I opened the appropriate menu in McAfee Internet Security Suite and disabled popup blocking. However, I noticed that the popups were still being blocked. I opened McAfee Internet Security Suite again to make sure I hadn't made a mistake. No, I hadn't, McAfee Internet Security Suite told me that popup blocking was disabled. In spite of that, the popups were being blocked. I could not find the way to make McAfee Internet Security Suite allow popups. Finally, I discovered that it was impossible to close McAfee Internet Security Suite. The program itself didn't allow such elementary operation as "close" (or at least I couldn't find it) and even Task Manager wouldn't close the processes. The only way to close McAfee Internet Security Suite was by uninstalling it, which I did.
These are just the two biggest complaints I have about this program. I won't bother you with the rest. To make the long story short, in order to avoid viruses and spyware taking control of my computer and slowing it down, I ended up installing McAfee Internet Security Suite which took control of my computer and slowed it down.
Now, the company promised me by email a 30-day money back guarantee. So I wrote to them asking for a refund. My email came back with an error message. Then, I tried to find another email address on their website. It turned out home users could only reach the company by telephone. I didn't, however, want to call them, as I have difficulties understanding British accent, and besides, why do I have to call in the first place? It is reasonable to expect that it be possible to reach a software vendor by email. Anyway, as the last resort, I browsed through a maze of help pages hoping to finally reach some kind of a contact form. It was hopeless. So I wrote to an address on the company's website that was intended for corporate customers, as that was the closest I could find. I told them politely that I knew that it wasn't the correct address, but as they were working in the same company, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to forward my message to the right people. I was hoping that the different departments of McAfee were communicating with each other. It turned out I was wrong. I got a reply which was polite but which's essential content was: beat it, this is not my responsibility area.
So I would like to warn you that if you buy this product, don't expect to get any help from the vendor, as it's not even possible to contact them by email. I am continuing my attempts to make McAfee keep its word. Wish me luck.
Disappointing November 10, 2006

I have been using McAfee products exclusively for years. This latest version gave me so much trouble that I returned it. Some of the problems: it does not appear to be compatible with prior McAfee security suites - I had to uninstall the prior year's version. Then, for some reason, I was getting the hour glass symbol constantly flashing on and off at my cursor. I uninstalled the Security Suite and re-installed, which cured that. The software also had issues updating itself, and seriously interfered with my wireless system - it disabled it several times! I eventually uninstalled this product and returned it . . . . never had so many problems with McAfee. Very disappointed in this version.
Worst Product Ever November 4, 2006

This is the worst antivirus software I have ever used. It slowed my computer to a crawl. And they 'lost' my rebate submission and told me to resubmit it. Of course, they failed to tell me that the rebate offer had already expired and I was never getting my money back. Their customer service is the most incompetent I have ever encountered. I will never buy a McAfee product again.
 Buyer Beware! September 29, 2006

If you buy this product simply because you think it will be free after rebate then think twice. A requirement to get the $30 competitive/upgrade rebate is the proof of purchase presumably located in the top inside flap of the box. Believe me, I have looked real hard and cannot find it in the box I have received. Mcafee has decided to include a two page user manual which only outlines the software installation procedure.
