Matt Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 No. McAfee is a resource hog and a mediocre security tool. Check out some of the free tools here: http://www.besttechie.net/forums/Commonly-...Tips-t4928.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kageo Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Mcafee is better than nothing at all though. Most free antivirus programs do not come with an antispyware so.. you might be better of with mcafee Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheTerrorist_75 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I just got done cleaning a PC that used McCrappee Security Suite. It had over 80 infections. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tjet Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Hey guys, thanks for the input and I'll give an update since I made this post last August.I have been using the Mc suite since Sept. as it is free with comcast.And regardless of my AV and firewall I have and use CCleaner, AdAware, Spybot S&D and Spybotblaster plus installing the MS MVP and Spybot host file blockers.It is no joke that the suite is a resource hog.On startup I have to wait two or three minutes while it downloads and installs updates and if my browsing slows to a crawl I know it is updating.While typing this reply I have 149.82 Mb Ram available out of 512 on a CeleronD X86 mobo.I like a couple features it has like the cert trace and the maintainence cleaner which shreds unwanted stuff after removal.Sometimes I run an online scan just to see if it is doing OK.I just use it and don't recommend it.Besides if I get in trouble I know where to ask for help.
