    This was a fantastic price! I had a year for free when I bought my laptop. When renewal time came the price was over $100. I saw this on Best Buy and bought it and cancelled the other one. It was easy to install also.

    It gets the job done. I also enjoy the fact that it doesn't slow my system down like some other products I have used before.

    The install was very simple and involved downloading the software from the McAfee website and installing, only took a few minutes to complete. There was some functions that didn't work properly on my computer and after completing the virus scan, it was able to weed out the virus/bots that were causing the problems on my PC.

    Great antivirus software. I've used Norton in the past but it's just gotten so bad over the years. Decided to change to Mcafee and it has been great. Detects and removes viruses fast and easy.

    So far there has not been any interruptions in the services of the device McAfee has been connected to. Everything seems to be running smoothly without detection of faulty activity.

    I've always trusted McAfee anti-virus, and this one does not disappoint. If you just need anti-virus for one PC, then this is the product you need.

    My new PC came preloaded with McAfee Live Safe,, which has more features than what I needed and I did not want to pay extra for those features upon renewal of my subscription. And is why I decided to go with the basic Anti virus product. About a month later I get a security warning: Real Time Scanning Off. I logged onto McAfee's website and they have a workaround which was easy to follow but a little time consuming.
