McAfee Internet Security Suite Review
McAfee Internet Security Suite puts together the McAfee SpamKiller, VirusScan, Privacy Service, and Personal Firewall Plus products. Its Security Center integrates and tracks the status of these modules and of most retail antivirus products (but not corporate versions). MThus, McAfee Internet Security Suite combines trusted 3-in-1 protection - anti-virus, anti-spyware, and firewall into a single, always-on, always up-to-date service to guard your hard drive, digital photos, music files, financial records, privacy, and Web browsing.
McAfee's product is strong. This product provides you with a is very thorough virus scanner, and the Firewall and SpamKiller are capable and really well featured. Don't forget the little extras, such as the Shredder which provides secure file deletion, making Internet Security Suite good value for money.
Antivirus
McAfee submitted their software to all three testing labs, ICSA, Virus Bulletin (VB) and West Coast Labs (W.C.L.). The product passed all three tests.
McAfee’s website provides you with current information on potentially harmful viruses.
Antispyware
The ISCA also gave their approval for the antispyware function of the McAfee Internet Security Suite. This software will detect spyware of all kinds including adware, keyloggers, trojans, browser hijackers and more.
Firewall
The McAfee firewall keeps intruders out and it keeps your personal information safe. Thus, it observes your computer’s ports and hereby all data that enters or leaves. With just one click, lock down the firewall, which blocks all inbound and outbound network traffic between your computer and the Internet. It also stops distant connections from accessing your computer.
This suite protects your Wi–Fi connection. It makes sure that nobody uses your wireless network and through this takes advantage of your Internet connection.
Ease of use
The setup proces will not give you any problems at all. Trying to set it up manually is unnecessary since the default settings provide very good protection against all thinkable harmful viruses, trojans, worms, nasty ActiveX controls and Java applets. McAfee Internet Security Suite is very user friendly and effective antivirus / internet security product for the quality-minded consumer.
Ease of Installation
You'll meet no problems. Just download and follow the install wizard.
Other features
McAfees’ Internet Security Suite tests among the best, and it holds one of the best virus detection records. The antivirus software in the package received the VB100% award for 2005, the ICSA award for 2005 and passed both level 1 & 2 Checkmarks from West Coast Labs. And AV-Test.org reports 100 percent detection. It has easy scheduling, blocks unknown e-mail worms and scans inbound e-mail, outbound e-mail, and IM attachments.
An automatically download function of updated virus definitions from the Internet will help keep your computer healthy. McAfee gives you new virus definitions on a daily basis. You need to register and login to get updates
Help/Support
McAfee has a broad array of help options. This includes documentation, email and phone support. However, it's a bit disappointing that it takes 5 days to respond an email. Don't expect all our questions to be answered.
