McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008

McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008's protection keeps up with the changing threats on the Internet, but the product doesn't excel, burdened by a user experience that's basically unchanged from last year.

Compare Prices

McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007

Despite the interface redesign, the McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 feels like a grab bag of security and system performance tools. It'll keep your PC safe, but we think there are other products on the market that do so with greater ease.

Compare Prices

McAfee Total Protection 2007

McAfee Total Protection 2007 does what it says on the label -- it protects your PC from all sorts of nasty attacks, albeit at a fairly high cost to your system performance, especially on older PCs.

Compare Prices

McAfee Wireless Protection

McAfee Wireless Protection makes more sense as part of the McAfee Total Protection suite than as a stand-alone application.

McAfee VirusScan Plus 2007

Despite a face-lift, the redesigned McAfee VirusScan Plus continues to consume system resources and leaves its customer support lacking.

Compare Prices

McAfee AntiSpyware 2006

McAfee AntiSpyware 2006 is a good antispyware choice if you're already using the other parts of McAfee's security suite.

McAfee VirusScan 2006

With VirusScan 2006, McAfee greatly enhances user protection against spyware and adware threats but slows your system down in the process.

McAfee AntiSpyware 2005

McAfee's AntiSpyware 2005 does a good job of spyware removal, if you can get past its IE-centric model and clunky update features.
