| 682391 | 2008-06-25 08:02:00 | Hi, Just received an email from Telecom offering me a free "security suite". It is a McAfee product. They say I must delete all other antivirus products. Just wondered if anyone out there had tried it. | gradebdan (2186) | ||
| 682392 | 2008-06-25 08:12:00 | Dont try it. Stick with a good combo like Avast + Comodo. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 682393 | 2008-06-25 08:24:00 | McAfee does an *ok* job at keeping you protected - but it is so bloated. And the firewall is crap. Beeswax's suggestion is the way to go. |

Just wondered if anyone out there had tried it. It is a good enough product, and it is free for telecom internet users, where otherwise you have to pay $100 for it. It is not as bloatware as nortons. |

Just wondered if anyone out there had tried it. I used it and paid for it but I found it does not work under WinXP Pro 64 bit. I wonder if it works under Vista Ultimate 64? Will check this out. |

| 682398 | 2008-06-25 21:32:00 | Take it if you really need it, but otherwise a better free combo in Avast & Comodo has already been suggested. | autechre (266) | ||

No - it's not good enough. It doesn't work nearly as well as Avast. Many a virus infected McAfee Machine I've cleaned out. What - you don't have to pay for it, don't buy it! It is a very close 2nd to Nortons Bloatware. I think on a whole, McAfee actually slows a PC down more than nortons. Neither of them are as bad as PcCillin though. :yuck: |

| 682400 | 2008-06-26 01:57:00 | They should be paying you to take it :D Saying that, I've never used McAfee before - and since it's free I'm going to give it a whirl just to see how bad it really is :lol: |
