Pros: Product works well. Activation across multiple PC's worked well. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't cause any issues with activations.

Cons: Getting McAfee Rebates is a pain. I bought this item in Aug 2015. Till Jan 2016, the rebate hasn't come, though as per the tracking status, the rebate is approved. It is too much pain to remember follow-up on these McAfee rebates.

Pros: one of the best antivirus in a market!

Cons: non

Other Thoughts: recommend to my friends

Pros: - Arrived quickly from NewEgg.
- Comes with a rebate that makes the price very attractive.
- Cames with a promotional item.
- McAfee is one of the better known brands in computer security.

Cons: - Windows only (sorry no MACs)
- Key card only. You will need to create online account and download the software directly to your PC.

Other Thoughts: - One year service, starts on the day you download the software to the first PC, regardless, if you are using it on one, two or three PCs.
- Key card is more convenient if your PC is not infected and you have easy access to the internet.
- Frankly, I was swayed to buy this product by the rebate.

Pros: Good deal with the rebate. Good quality antivirus and firewall for dirt cheap price when it has rebate.

Cons: It has a very annoying bug. Everyday it starts to download updates and gets stuck there. The update indicator keeps circling in the taskbar definitely and during that time computer and internet slows down. Work-around is that, you double-click the McAfee taskbar icon and bring up the UI window. Then with open UI window it will finish the update in half a minute. But if you don't bring up the UI window, it just keeps circling in the taskbar hogging the resources :( If there was an easy way to report this bug to McAfee technical department, I would have given it 3 stars, but there is practically no way to reach them. They just want you to go through FAQ and troubleshoot steps.

Pros: Downloaded and installed on Windows 10 with no problems...hopefully the rebate will also come with no issues. Updates run fine. Uses about 300MB memory in background but barely any CPU. Seems to work better and more smoothly than Kaspersky. McAfee is an anti-NSA company so that's great.

Cons: None

Pros: none

Cons: cannot install on two pc's; spent hours with level 1 on each computer, 2 hours with level 2 on another and tonight 3 hours + with level 2 support and it is not even installed.

Other Thoughts: Mcafee has created a disaster for me

Pros: Works well after installation. Had to use "administrator account", I wish McAfee tells you that.

Cons: Had to go into "administrator account" to install. When I tried to install from a "standard account" it said "We found potential threats that might interfere with your McAfee installation.", and to chat or call customer service.

Also removed the free "McAfee scan" that I had previously installed.

The chat person wanted access to my computer, I said NO, and ended the chat.

Pros: went to another program

Cons: Beware if you need help

I am an advanced user

I went through the usual steps for installation and couldn't get it to load

This program does not play well with others so I removed all conflicting programs I'm in about 1 hour now
Still a no go, so now off to the races I spend about another 2 hours working through the next steps and still no joy
So I bite the bullet and call, I want a higher level tech than the first incompetent dope but the wont advance the case until I start with incompetent dope #1 so here we go, spending another 1 1/2 hour on the same stuff I already did 3 times so we got passed dope 1 and next day (they couldn't get a dope 2 the same day) got dope 2, still not the highest level dope again the wont advance case until I work with dope 2 (mind you no US support it is very hard to understand what they are saying and I live in NY) doing the same steps again, another 1 1/2 hr now they think maybe level 3 might be needed (so no dope 3 available same day) so dope 2 calls me back next day and wants to take logs for dope 3 to call the next day, I decline and want dope 3 to call directly, not really unreasonable considering the amount of my time that they wasted, but it can't be done. They have refused to have dope 3 call and that is the last I have heard from them.

Update 3-13-15 1 month later I get a call from ernesto garcia in the executive office he calls me with an incorrect fact pattern simply pitiful service

Pros: To early to rate if Antivirus effective.

Cons: McAfee has known real time scanner and other issues.
Their customer service/support NEVER once contacted us over three weeks and many requests leaving us without working software.
It appears you have to pay a high premium to get real help from them.
Rating poor for absolutely no promised customer service or support and proof Intel real does not care about their customers concerns, only cares about their money.

Pros: 3 PCs for a year of protection is a good deal. Got it cyber Monday so it was free after rebate. Never been a big mcafee fan but it seems to offer all around protection without being an annoyance.

Cons: Normal price is pretty high, better deal when it's on sale.
