Worst Antivirus


I have tried out Norton, Panda and many more, but McAfee is THE worst AV. I was never able to update it since i bought it. I contacted their customer support dozen times but to no avail. I had to reconfigure Internet explorer, even that didnt help. Morever I coulnt unistall it. I had to format my hard disk to get rid of it.

Overview

McAfee VirusScan 9.0

Editors rating
Rating: 7.7
Verdict

VirusScan 9.0 is a worthwhile upgrade for current VirusScan users, who will benefit from the improved spyware detection. But VirusScan lacks a firewall, making it an incomplete security solution.

Typical price

£ 34
