Product Description

Updated 2012 Functions

Most advanced botnet software blocks your PC’s attempts to connect to web addresses which are dubious. This extra defence helps prevent your computer from sending out your personal information to internet crime networks - so that your personal computer stays "personal".

As an integral part of the comprehensive suite, we provide ironclad protection for your data - regardless of where it resides. All your portable storage devices are scanned and malicious viruses, Trojans, and worms are blocked before they can wriggle into your PC and your network.

If your computer is already infected, McAfee Total Protection now offers a pre-installation scan to help you remove existing infections as our software installs.

When you need to know what is happening online, the surfing report shows login times and attempts to access forbidden sites. You can also see who is online when. Additional features include revitalised parental controls.

Now you can safely and easily share interesting and entertaining content with your social networks, providing web links that your friends can click with confidence. If your link becomes risky before they click, your friends will be warned and protected.

Make your updates and tweets short, sweet, and safe with our new integrated URL shortening service. You can embed brief, trustworthy URLs that spread the news without spam or malware.

Unused applications, cached browser files, and other junk slow down your PC. McAfee QuickClean™ software removes the clutter so your computer can keep up with your digital life.

This innovative software is now available with the revolutionary Active Protection™ Technology which offers instant protection from threats on your PC. A new threat can be analysed and blocked in milliseconds - anytime, anywhere.

With continuous and automatic updates, McAfee Network Monitor secures your home network, warning you of unsafe connections. The two-way firewall recognises any unfamiliar device and warns you when it tries to connect to your home network.

McAfee SiteAdvisor® LIVE-Software alerts you to unsafe websites

The IMPROVED Anti-phishing software - Advanced McAfee SiteAdvisor® LIVE software checks and alerts you to unsafe websites which you might receive in social media, email, and instant messages and blocks online phishing, when a scammer attempts to steal your personal or confidential information. Colour-coded icons next to your search results let you know before you click which sites are safe and which may install malicious code, phish for your identity, or send you spam. McAfee SiteAdvisor® LIVE prevents you from clicking on malicious websites in your browser, emails and Instant Messenger.

Additional features include McAfee anti-spam filters to constantly protect you from this shady side of the internet. McAfee parental controls lets parents use age-based rules and adjustable categories to block inappropriate sites and limit online time to ensure improved protection for the entire family. The digital data shredder permanently destroys sensitive files to be sure they cannot be retrieved by other users when you donate, recycle, lend or upgrade your device.

Costumer Reviews

Seems to be an average product (though they wanted to charge an extra £80 for removing 'System Tool' trojan that their software didn't pick up and couldn't remove - thank you Malware Bites for your excellent free site.)

Macafee sets up an auto-renewal when you subscribe. A month before the subscription runs out, an email arrives telling you that within 30 days, your credit card will be debited the full price £65 and your subscription will be continued. Amazon sells for under £30, the Mcafee site offers £35 if directly bought. This is unsurprisingly dishonest.

For any current subscribers, you can turn off the autorenewal by logging in the their site but I'm going with another A-V provider as I have no trust in McAfee now.

(Ranting is fun.)

Other's on here have mentioned problems. For about 3 days after it was first loaded it took along time to load updates, but that sorted itself out and now everything works. Easy to install and register, no problems with this product.
